William Ruto vows to defend Kenya against homosexuality

We rarely write about local issues here. The DP has sworn to protect the country from homosexuality. He says

Homosexuality is against the plan of God, God did not create man and woman so that men would marry men and women marry women

for those of you who are unaware, what marriage god wants depends on which part of the bible you are reading. If you read somewhere in the NT, it is better to stay single, the world is ending anyway. The OT has different variations that Ruto will be hard placed to choose the correct one. I am not sure what god’s plan is on corruption, land grabbing and or crimes against humanity like massive displacement of persons. May be just as in the days of Israel and Canaan, god looks the other side.

Last I checked, this country was secular and the DP was not elected a church pastor. So to say

We have heard that in the US they have allowed gay relations and other dirty things. I want to say as a Christian leader that we will defend our country Kenya, we will stand for our faith and our country

is irresponsible. What dirty things is he talking about? The government, which he is the deputy president, is ineffective and inefficient,corrupt and is unable to get anything done. Security has deteriorated so much that security guards will soon outnumber those working in the tourism industry.

I say, tell this

No amount of persuasions, theories or philosophy will make us change our position. We believe in God, this is a God fearing nation and will continue to be so

to the dogs. What god fearing country where waste in government is the order of the day. Corruption or sleaze is the byword. Tell us something else! You believe in god, many of us don’t. And how a gay person affects your marriage is anyone’s guess.

And I find some of the comments very interesting

Sarete says

By all means let us list the “unchristian practices” and just wondering if corruption, stealing, grabbing of public land is unchristian or pro-christian.

Is christianity not foreign?what a hypocrite!

Why don’t you do your job instead of worrying about gays. Why don’t you start by defending the constitution against thieves and corrupt leaders, defend primary kids from teargas throwing cops

and then of course, the bigots, idiots, the DP’s supporters

Thanks very much the VP this is leadership. I am a Ugandan I wish you present yourself for the President of East Africa Federation that is the only way we can payback.

How come you’ve done nothing to those who have come out in the open ? Once you legalize things like that, it is very unfair to arrest someone for speeding …..in fact you must do away with most laws

Wanjiku Wamai 

Great thing to see a leader stand for what he believes in.

I can safely report that 50% or more of the comments are people who think the DP should concern himself with what he swore to do. Defend the constitution, fight poverty, eradicate crime/ corruption, improve access to healthcare and education while at the same time create employment opportunities for the many unemployed Kenyans.

For the clown to pretend that gays have become an issue of national concern is to side step real issues facing the Kenyan tax payer. I assure the DP or any of his minions that no gay is after you. Sleep peacefully with your wife or wives and let others be. Spare us this nonsense. We have real issues to deal with and while at it, instead of this harambees, do something for once!

Ruto and gays
