Kenya Will Never Legalize LGBTQ - Pastor Dorcas

Pastor Dorcas Rigathi has affirmed that the country will never legalize same sex relationships.

Speaking during an orientation forum for first-year students at the Masaai Mara University in Narok County, Pastor Dorcas noted that Africa had a culture and was not ready for such relationships. 

"In this country, it is not lawful for a man to marry a man. It is not lawful for a woman to marry a woman. It is illegal. 

“Africa is not ready for that, we have our culture, we have our own religion, we have our religion, I think it is time we come out and speak. When you hear us speak about this, it is because we want to have a thriving Africa," she stated. 

While addressing students, Pastor Dorcas urged them to always speak about issues affecting them instead of taking their lives.

She spoke referring to increased cases of suicide among university and college students. In her recent engagement with University of Nairobi students Pastor Dorcas was told of numerous cases of suicide among students. 

Pastor Dorcas has been conducting talks in institutions of higher learning having held sessions at the University of Nairobi, Daystar University, Mt.Kenya University, and several vocational institutes.

This comes barely days after a section of Muslims and Christians held demos to protest against the Supreme Court ruling that allowed the registration of  “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) Organizations. 

"Joined my Muslim and Christian Brothers and Sisters after Jumaa Prayers at Jamia Mosque Nairobi in a demonstration against the Supreme Court's Ruling on Registration of LGBTQ Organizations in this God-driven Country! Nothing Can Deter US from Speaking the Truth and Protecting Our Religious and Moral Obligations towards the sanctity of God's-Ordained design of a Family Structure. In this battle against LGBTQ, We Will Never Have Cold Feet," Nyali Mohammed Ali tweeted after joining the protestors.
