Nairobi County Senator Edwin Sifuna now claims that the ongoing debate on the LGBTQ ruling by the Supreme Court is a plot by the government to diverge public attention from the real issues affecting Kenyans.

Sifuna opines that the President William Ruto-led government is hesitant to address issues such as the high cost of living and has therefore brought up the LGBTQ subject to distract the public from the primary issues.

“This discussion is a total distraction…we want to move the focus of the nation from the kitchen where people are unable to feed their families to the bedroom,” Sifuna said in an interview on Citizen TV’s Day Break Show on Thursday.

According to the lawmaker, the LGBTQ debate is of no consequence since the Apex court judgement only granted the LGBTQ members the right to association as stipulated in the Kenyan Constitution.

He, therefore, reiterates that the ruling has been misunderstood by the majority of the people and goes on to say that the hullabaloo will be of little impact on the ruling.

“The court has not said and did not say that these people have a right to marry…the right to association. Every person has the right to freedom of association,” Sifuna said.

“Every person has the right to freedom of association which includes the right to form, join or participate in the activities of an association of any kind.”

At the same time, the legislator expressed his reservation on the controversial subject saying that it had exposed the Kenya Kwanza government as a hypocritical administration.

“It has exposed very serious hypocrisy because when we were protesting the decision of the Supreme Court they were telling us that this is the highest court in the land, the matter is over,” he said.
