Kenyan MP Tweeted that Africa is home to 'Morality & Values' while inciting violence towards gays
The West should keep polygamists out because they defraud their citizens for citizenship like Kenyans have done in the past & continue to do
It is unknown if he's saying he won't allow gays to travel to Kenya or any African nation or not. However his Tweet was followed up by calls to violence towards homosexuals. One person in a Tweet told another man to "hang yourself."
Since the death of LGTBQ activist & fashion designer Edwin Chiloba several politicians have been going to Twitter to incite hatred and violence. With their tweets they've encouraged many Africans in and outside of Kenya threaten the lives of homosexuals.
NOTE; The United States provides one billion dollars in funding to Kenya and spent almost 1 million dollars or more on the recent August 2022 elections in Kenya. Why is the US funding a country that continues to defraud them in way of citizenship scams and insulting the laws of America?
This tweet appears to appear as if Kenya wishes to no longer allow 'Western' visitors into the country. Also other western nations should do the same as Kenyans practice a form of 'forced polygamy'.
This Kenyan official had to go back and change her comments as many believed it to be a call to murder homosexuals. Even after she made her statement many Africans in East Africa quickly started calling for the death of anyone who was gay.
In 2020 Uhuru Kenyatta the former president of Kenya changed the Marriage Act of 2014 making it legal for a man to marry as many wives as he wants without ever informing his first wife or any other wives. Thus women can be married and sharing their husbands without their own knowledge.
Further more Kenyans have obtained American citizenship while having wives in Kenya, without their American wives ever knowing. One Joel Kiage from Kisii Kenya received his American citizenship then starting bringing his many children to the United States.
He essentially abandoned his Americana wife leaving her to file for divorce and leaving his American son which was his 9th child.
Women in polygamous marriages may face severe financial loss, including inheritance rights, and potentially fatal health problems such as HIV/AIDS due to their husband having multiple sexual partners. Sections 2, 3 and 6 of Kenya's Marriage Act No. 4 of 2014 allow a man to have more than one wife.
Not to mention the rise of gender-based violence (domestic violence), poverty and homelessness caused by the act of polygamy. Blaming homosexuals is a common practice in Kenya and many other African countries instead of facing the real issues being ignored by their governments.
If African countries want to practice hatred why do they continue to bring up western countries? This man tweeted unprovoked by any government, speaking on behalf of his position in Kenya. Why do western countries have to always be insulted for their laws if Africans don't want to the same for their own?
One Twitter user replied to his Tweet telling him that Kenya should no longer accept funding as well as recall all Kenyans who live abroad. Which makes perfect sense, he's complaining about western countries and saying he's no longer going to allow them in Africa.
By the way Kenya is only one country a Kenyan law maker doesn't and can't speak for every African nation.
Someone from Twitter then Tweets what looks like a child support order for the MP. Telling him to feed his children in his reply.
One person commenting to another told him to 'try hanging yourself." From the home of morality and values.
There is a tribe which is located in Kenya and Tanzania where women legally marry one another. They live together as woman and one woman's family pays the dowery to another woman's family.
The same issues and violence are facing homosexuals in Ghana, with the MP Sam George leading the charge for a Anti-LGTBQ bill that would criminalize anyone accused of being gay. In Ghana where women who are accused of being lesbians are raped by several men to 'turn them straight.'
African governments are facing many issues and still in 2023 are arguing over homosexuality. In countries where homosexuals hide in sectret for the most part, they don't cause issues or have parades. They're just trying to live their lives in peace and without brutality.
