The High Court, today at 1430hrs will make a ruling whether to repeal section 162A and 162C of the constitution on LGBTQ rights.
A landmark ruling for the concerned and non-concerned parties. The whole world is waiting.
I have always been against making homosexuality and lesbianism legal in Kenya, but as I stated it here before, it’s a discussion Kenya cannot avoid, owing to its free democratic space. 1430hrs it is!
If the Repeal goes through, the Western media aka BBC, CNN,NYT FOX NEWS,ALjazeera will be all over with articles praising Kenya for such a move…It has always been their wish that this happens…Remember Obama’s visit to Kenya, one of his main agenda talks was this one…Remember Uhuru’s interview with CNN…80% of the interview revolved around the same…Remember Richard Quest recent visit to Kenya where he openly said he is gay…This is the Western Countries driven agenda, not our agenda…I won’t be surprised if it actually goes through!
Your post is wrong and misleading for two reasons. No, three reasons.
You cannot challenge the legality or validity of any provision of the constitution of Kenya, 2010 in any court.
Read Article 2.
(3)The validity or legality of this Constitution is not subject to challenge by or before any court or other State organ.
Article 162 of the constitution deals with the system of Courts in Kenya.
Article 162:-
(1) The superior courts are the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, the High Court and the courts referred to in clause (2).
(2) Parliament shall establish courts with the status of the High Court to hear and determine disputes relating to-
(a) employment and labour relations; and
(b) the environment and the use and occupation of, and title to, land.
(3) Parliament shall determine the jurisdiction and functions of the courts contemplated in clause (2).
(4) The subordinate courts are the courts established under Article 169, or by Parliament in accordance with that Article.
The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 does not have a Section 162A.
guys, listen, if something is wrong, it is wrong. let me show you how people miss the point.
it is wrong - society knows, the world knows and they actively know it and it’s “rightness” isn’t even discussed.
it is wrong - someone however becomes a little strange and begins to talk about it
it is wrong - he receives a lot of backlash about even opening such a discussion
it is wrong but let’s hear him out
it is wrong but how many are like him/her?
ok this wrong is pervasive, since many are coming together to support the wrong
ok maybe it’s not wrong since there are many like this
it is not right to discriminate, they’re human so we can listen to this one issue
it is not right as long as they keep it to themselves
it actually isn’t wrong as they are working productive members of the society and they can be proud of it in public and publicly
it is right because they are who they are
it is right period and anyone who says it is wrong is a bigot liar homophobe donkeyphobe zoophiliphobe and other phobes
it is right and i want to try it out
what other wrong can we make right??
those who still say it is wrong now begin to change; jumping from number 1 straight to number 9.
others who were born recently will go straight to number 11 and quickly shift to 12 and then soon number 13.
there will be no voice to say what is right and what is wrong because that grey area will have been coloured into the map
