Pastor Dorcas Gachagua, the wife of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, recently expressed her opposition to the LGBTQ+ agenda, describing it as contrary to religious principles and foreign to traditional African values.
During a speech in Bungoma County, Pastor Gachagua emphasized that LGBTQ+ matters are considered taboo in African culture and are legally and constitutionally prohibited. She also cited biblical references to label LGBTQ+ as an abomination.
Pastor Gachagua called upon leaders, educators, and clergy members in the Western Region to take action and intervene in order to save “Generation Z,” particularly the boy child, from a destructive path. She noted that this generation is plagued by issues such as alcohol and substance abuse. As future leaders, she emphasized that it is the responsibility of current leaders and the church to prevent their decline, emphasizing the need for open dialogue and understanding.
Highlighting the importance of the boy child as the carrier of future generations, Pastor Gachagua asserted that the satanic agenda seeks to destroy their influence. She argued that by eliminating the seed carrier, even the girl child’s chances of becoming a mother are jeopardized. Therefore, addressing the challenges faced by the boy child is crucial, as it indirectly affects the girl child as well.
In a separate incident, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua expressed his disagreement with a Supreme Court ruling allowing LGBTQ+ organizations to register as non-profit entities in Kenya. He regarded such beliefs as satanic and contrary to the values held by Kenyan society. Gachagua emphasized the importance of upholding traditional customs and morality, and he expressed confidence that President Ruto, being a man of faith, would take the necessary steps to maintain these principles.
This statement from Gachagua follows the Supreme Court’s decision to recognize the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals and organizations in Kenya, which was hailed as a significant milestone by human rights activists advocating for LGBTQ+ rights in the country, given the constitutional prohibition on homosexuality.
