Moral or Legal Issue – How Should Kenya Deal With LGBTQ?
Sputnik Africa
The adoption of the proposed Family Protection Bill, prohibiting LGBTQ activities in Kenya, may hit the country's economy hard due to the possible loss of Western financial aid, believes Prof. Fred Ogola. Your AfroVedict host joins the scholar to discuss what the East African nation could do to preserve its values under such circumstances.
Kenya should "separate what is moral and what is legal", accoding to Prof. Frederick Ogola, Kenyan economist and social scientist. Morals are to be "left to church teachers" and should be dealt with using "societal values".Western countries have their own national interests, subsequently, developed nations "tend to use their money" to make sure that "their policies are followed".The Profesor believes that the solution to the LGBTQ issue in Kenya lies in preserving traditional values through "moral education" and "controling content" that is available to children through online media.

Moral or Legal Issue – How Should Kenya Deal With LGBTQ?
Viktor Anokhin
Producer, Podcast host
The adoption of the proposed Family Protection Bill, prohibiting LGBTQ activities in Kenya, may hit the country's economy hard due to the possible loss of Western financial aid, believes Prof. Fred Ogola. Your AfroVedict host joins the scholar to discuss what the East African nation could do to preserve its values under such circumstances.
Kenya should "separate what is moral and what is legal", accoding to Prof. Frederick Ogola, Kenyan economist and social scientist. Morals are to be "left to church teachers" and should be dealt with using "societal values".
"If Kenya separates what is moral and what is legal, then they should not legislate for or against LGBTQ. Morality should be left to church leaders. Morality should be taught in families. Morality should be taught using societal values, not using a legal recommendation," Prof. Ogola explains.
Western countries have their own national interests, subsequently, developed nations "tend to use their money" to make sure that "their policies are followed".
"Kenyans have to either accept that money plus the policy or they have to reject the policy and also forget the money," he elaborates.
The Profesor believes that the solution to the LGBTQ issue in Kenya lies in preserving traditional values through "moral education" and "controling content" that is available to children through online media.
So I think those are the areas where we need to put policy, but we are not supposed to come with a legal implication, Prof. Ogola reiterates.
