As Kenyans were eagerly waiting on the courts to rule on the LGBT ruling, one thing seemed to have been common among those who attended according to Kenyans who have praised the ruling.
The bench said there was insufficient evidence of discrimination and denial of basic human rights due to one’s real or perceived sexuality. They have upheld sections of 162 A, C and 165 of the penal code
What shocked Kenyans in the ruling was the number of foreigners who were present during the court session.
It is insane how many foreigners are on this hashtag #Repeal162 supporting the repeal of OUR penal code to decriminalize gayism despite the Kenyan majority being opposed to the same.

Correct me if I am wrong: why are there so many foreign activists than Kenyan nationals pushing for #Repeal162? I mean, we never see that many foreigners this interested in our other local affairs. Somethings’ off if you ask me.

#Repeal162 is Full of foreigners. There are no actual Gays and Lesbians in Kenya because its UNKENYAN. This is a foreign campaign in our country. The few gathering momentum here are a result of peer pressure.
