MP Mohammed Ali quotes Quran and Bible as he condemns LGBTQ campaign

Nyali MP Mohammed Ali popularly known as Jicho Pevu has countered the LGBTQ campaign in the country with the scriptures. Ali, who quoted both the Bible and the Quran, said it is important for the country to follow what the scriptures say. Trashing the push from the US government, the journalist-turned-politician said there is no democracy and human rights in LGBTQ, calling it satanism. "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads," he said quoting Leviticus 20:13.

"I have even told them if they will revoke my visa, so be it. The visa we are looking for should be to get to heaven," he said. The MP further challenged the US to take all LGBTQ members and fight for their human rights and democracy while they live in their country and not in Kenya.

"It would be unconstitutional to limit the right to associate through denial of registration of an association purely based on the sexual orientation of the applicants," three apex court judges said in their ruling.
