July 8, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) -- Kenyan National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi and four other legislators have warned US President Barack Obama against promoting homosexual "rights" in his visit to the country this month.
“Individual rights must not violate the rights of others,” Muturi said. “Those advancing gay rights must similarly appreciate our Christian, Islamic and African traditional values which abhor homosexuality.”
Pointing out that sodomy is a criminal offence in Kenya, Muturi said his government has the right to “sanction any advances perceived to encroach on our social fabric” and that he believes advocacy of same-sex "marriage" is a form of Western ideological oppression disguised as human rights.
“Liberal thoughts are being entertained in some countries under the guise of human rights," Muturi said. "We must be vigilant and guard against this, because we have a responsibility to our children, and our children's children. We must lead an upright society. We must not allow certain of these obnoxious practices.”
Woman Representative Rose Mitaru, who is also an ordained Canon of the Anglican Church of Kenya, urged Obama to confine his topics of discussion to issues, such as the state of the economy and terrorism, that would actually benefit the country. Promoting the legalization of same-sex "marriage," she said, would open “floodgates of evil synonymous with the biblical Sodom and Gomorra."
MP Cecily Mbarire said the government is ready to reject foreign aid if it was tied to acceptance of same-sex “marriage.”
"Our Constitution is very clear. Marriage is of two people of opposite sex," she said. “The Constitution is against same-sex marriage and nothing should change [when Obama comes]. We are ready to decline any foreign aid if it is tied to gay marriages.”
Deputy President William Ruto told a church congregation on Sunday that they must take a stand for their faith, calling homosexual practices something that Kenya will not tolerate, according to the Daily Nation.
“Homosexuality is against the plan of God. God did not create man and woman so that men would marry men and women marry women,” Ruto said at the Africa Inland Church Ziwani in Nairobi.
“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,” he added.
Urging both Christians and Muslims to defend their beliefs and values, Ruto stated, "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.”
Senator Lenny Kivuti announced that he would boycott the welcoming ceremony if Obama intends to promote homosexuality.
Another National Assembly member, MP Charles Njagagua, went so far as to say he would have Obama ejected from the House if he lectured MPs on gay "marriage."

I like how they put him on notice that they’ll ‘send him home’ if he starts spouting his gay rights agenda.
I would like to tell him the same thing here, threatening to send him home (to Kenya).
It would be like strapping a piece of buttered toast to the back of cat and then dropping it.
African nations (and much of the non-western world, actually) take this stuff very seriously. I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama opens his big mouth over there (he can’t help himself and will take the threats as a challenge) and then has to be quickly whisked out of the country because of the backlash, (which in that part of the world can turn very violent very fast).
Gosh. I wonder if they would trade Kenyans.
Even though the Kenyans rightfully claim him as a native son, they aren’t about to let the Bamster advance his gay agenda.
When Kenya is more sane than America, it is time for us to close down.
Like always ,Obama will got right to the Children
I don’t like this! Does this mean Obama can’t retire in his home country?
Wish our leaders had this much spine. Watch Obama's white side emerge in disdain for these righteous people.

D’oh!
Obama is not going to like it. He’s not going to like it one bit!!
He will be in a very dark mood when he comes back to America, and
we’ll probably be able to hear his tantrum from sea to shining sea.
po’ boy...
