Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has weighed in on the ongoing LGBTQ debate.
Speaking on Thursday, March 2, during the re-launch of the Women Enterprise Fund at KICC, Nairobi, Gachagua stated that he was surprised to see the Supreme Court rule in favour of the LGBTQ community.

The second in command stated that they don’t have a problem with the Supreme Court but they will not allow LGTBQ in Kenya.
“Sisi hatuna shida na wale wamepitisha lakini mama akioa mama mwingine wanaambiana nini, hiyo maneno hatutaki, hiyo ni mambo ya kishetani, hiyo ni kinyume na ile sisi tunaamini. Kiongozi wa inchi hii ni mcha mungu, he is a man of faith he will do what needs to be done. In any case, we have a tradition and customs and what they are suggesting is repugnant to morality, justice, and our way of life. Kwa hivo hiyo maneno sisi hatuko hapo,” Gachagua added.
The LGBTQ Community has been trending in the past few days following the Supreme Court's ruling that dismissed an appeal by the government that sought to bar the registration of LGBTQ organisations in Kenya.
