Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has shared his views about the ongoing debate on homosexuality after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the LGBTQ community.
Speaking during a televised show on Citizen TV on Thursday, March 2, Sifuna stated that there is a lot of hypocrisy surrounding the views of MPs, the Church and other political leaders when it comes to the debate on homosexuality and the LGBTQ community.

“When we (Azimio) were protesting the decision (on the 2022 General Election) by the Supreme Court they were telling us that this is the highest court in the land, the matter is over. Now people are saying that they are going to appeal, review… You cannot appeal the decision by the Supreme Court. It is the highest court in the land,”
“Some of these people are raising homosexual children and they don’t even know it because they don’t want to have a conversation. I agree that as traditional African society things take time for us to be able to appreciate them,” he said.
Senator Sifuna further argued that the debate on homosexuality is a distraction from the factual issues affecting Kenyans.
“For me this discussion is a total distraction to the real issues affecting Kenyans. We want to move the focus of the nation from the kitchen where people are unable to feed their families to the bedroom. It is ridiculous.
But I understand people who need this distraction because this other conversation about cost of living, cost of energy is difficult for them to handle,” he added.
