Kenya will never bow to pressure to engage in any debate that seeks to entrench abortion and same sex unions in her statutes, Education Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) Zack Kinuthia has said.

He said the ‘Westernised’ movers of the two topics have been trying to gain launch pads among the tender-aged population in the country “as laid credence by rising cases of foreign-sponsored pornographic shootings involving children.”  

Speaking during a burial in Mathioya Sub-county in Murang’a, Mr Kinuthia said there is intense activism around the two topics and it has gained popularity among some “suspect leaders”.

SEXUAL CONSENT

He dismissed suggestions being floated to lower sexual consent age from the current 18 to as low as 13, calling it “madness”.

He said the country would not vandalise the national syllabuses to include “honey coated nonsense in the name of empowering our children with X-rated doctrines that at best are Satanic.” 

Mr Kinuthia said the government guarantees it will never entertain cases of dehumanising those already in same sex ‘lifestyle’, but will never acknowledge that what they do and believe in is part of the country’s pulse.

“On the abortion debate, you can take it to bank; we will never bend backwards to believe in it. We have medically provided for special considerations and which we have left to the able hands of our medical actors,” he said.

NATIONAL AGENDA

While acknowledging that the government will not gag such debates, he noted that; “what we will never do is to facilitate or accommodate such debates to be the national agenda.” 

“How do you even think of starting a debate that seeks to legalise primary school kids aborting? He wondered.

“Here we are trying to address our collective shame that the kids got pregnant in the first place and here you are cheering that now it has happened, let us infer abortion on her…this is a weird way of thinking,” he said.

Maendeleo ya Wanawake Organisation chair in Murang’a Lucy Nyambura said the debate is stale hence, unpalatable in the Kenya, a God fearing society.

“We are better off discussing how to transform our dry lands into highlands rather than engage in debates that can even anger God. These useless debates are the ones that are irking God to a point He is punishing us with the many global tragedies being witnessed, Covid-19 being one of them,” she said.

Nominated MCA Eunice Nduta said a country that seeks to confront God’s wisdom about creation and life matters, can only be courting a spiritual wrath unimaginable.

 She said Western values being pushed down Africans’ throats and attached to donor funding was betrayal to the very tenets of spiritual and cultural purity that defines humanity in Africanism.
