Senator Edwin Sifuna has claimed that there is no law in Kenya that prohibits one from being a member of the LGBTQ. Senator Edwin Sifuna was speaking on Citizen TV. Speaking on Citizen TV on Thursday, February 1, the Nairobi senator dismissed the argument by Daadab MP Maalim Farah regarding the law on one being gay. Sifuna claimed that the former deputy speaker was creating an imaginary law that does not exist in the 2010 Constitution. According to the ODM secretary general, the provisions of the penal code only put a penalty on people for sexual conduct that is against the order of nature. “There is no law in Kenya against being gay. That law does not exist; you are just creating it. The penal code puts a penalty on having sexual conduct that is against the order of nature, including between a man and a woman. In this country, statutory rape is labelled as early marriage,” Sifuna said.
