Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ezekiel Mutua on Thursday, September 14 expressed that the Supreme Court's ruling that allowed LGBTQ+ members to register an NGO in Kenya was tarnishing the reputation of Kenya's morals.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Mutua voiced his opposition on concerns that the ruling was seen as an attempt to legalise homosexuality through the Kenyan court system.
He reiterated that the Constitution of Kenya 2010 classifies homosexuality as illegal in Kenya and that its culture was not part and parcel of how culture is recognised in the laws of the country.
"As the late Dr. Myles Munroe once said, "There's no amount of legislation that can make an exit the entry..." But these bizarre decisions undermine the very core of our nation. Our foundation is built on the acknowledgement of God Almighty of all creation and family as the key pillar of society.

"Our Constitution outlaws homosexuality and in Section 11 recognises culture as "the cumulative civilisation of the Kenyan people." Homosexuality is not our culture," he stated.
According to Mutua, Kenya's foundation is rooted in the acknowledgement of God Almighty as the creator and family as the cornerstone of society, further arguing that recent court decisions challenge the fundamental values upon which the nation is built.
He went on to draw a controversial analogy by suggesting that if the LGBTQ+ community were granted the freedom to form their own associations, it would set a precedent that could potentially extend to allowing terrorists and other illegal groups similar freedoms.
"Same-sex marriage is therefore against our core values, the constitution and religious beliefs and must not be sanitised through strange court decisions.
"If we can allow the LGBTQ the freedom to form their own associations, we could also allow terrorists and other illegal groups the freedom to do the same!" he feared.
Mutua's statement comes as religious leaders condemned the ruling, asserting that it contradicts the core tenets of their faith and challenges traditional values upheld in Kenyan society.
“We’re going to have zoophiles, paedophiles, drug abusers and terrorists soon asking for their rights soon enough,” stated religious leaders during an Anti-LGBTQ+ protest.
The Supreme Court had on Tuesday, September 12 dismissed a petition by Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Kaluma seeking to overturn its ruling on the registration of an LGBTQ lobby group and the definition of sex as used in the case.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, September 13, Kaluma claimed that the Kenyan judicial system was the weak link in the "battle against homosexuality in Kenya."
"We have to return the SC and petition the court to reverse its decision," Kaluma said during a press briefing, "We must get the court to reaffirm the traditional definition of sex, which is male and female determined at birth,"
The MP stated that Kenya must pass the Family Protection Bill as soon as possible in order to put an end to the "LGBTQ madness."
The Bill proposes a ban on homosexuality, same-sex marriages and any hint of LGBTQ activities and lobbying in the country.

By prohibiting the promotion of LGBTQ in the country, Kaluma's Bill suggested clamping down on its promoters and funding by various groups.
According to the controversial Bill, sex remains a physical state of being male or female observed and assigned at birth, and not an identity one is free to choose and assign oneself.
According to the hardline lawmaker who has, over the last few months made his stance clear, parents should retain rights to their children’s education, and they must be informed and give consent to their children's sexuality education.
The proposed strict measures also have far-reaching implications on sexual health and sexual health rights & education. According to the Bill, Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in pre-primary, primary and secondary school education programs: the teaching of abortion, homosexuality, LGBTQ issues, abortion and masturbation to children should be banned.
Further, the Bill also limits the rights to assembly, demonstration, association, expression, belief, privacy, and employment in childcare institutions in respect of homosexual convicts and those engaged in LGBTQ behaviour while also prohibiting adoption by homosexuals and LGBTQ persons.
According to Kaluma, a traditional family values champion, the penalty imposed under the proposed Act ranges from imprisonment of at least 10 years to death.
