I must say, I have not set eyes on the “controversial” statement issued by Esther Murugi, so I cannot comment on the intended message thereof but the combination of permutations on its meaning has been mind boggling to say the least. If you have a copy please paste the link.
Before I go any further; thank you Honorable Minister for your boldness.
She must have known what would come out of this well before she made the statement. I bet she had looked at all alternative options on how best to frame that particular paragraph so that it may not be misconstrued. Whether she is misunderstood or that was exactly what she meant to say is another matter.
Well…that’s politics.
As I keep on saying, what you say shall eventually be used against you. Saying she did though, and this has set a new stage for the LGBTI community.
The unspoken has been spoken. A new trend has been set and history has been written. If she is remembered for nothing else, then am sure the LGBTI community in Kenya shall remember her for this. Personally, I will be forever grateful to Hon. Esther Murugi for setting the stage. If you believe in omens, then this surely is one.
Publicity is Publicity at the end of the day. Whether negative or positive, it can work for or against. In my opinion, the stage has been set, the ball is rolling, lets keep the momentum…we are so far away from the final whistle…but when the whistle blows, let the LGBTI community emerge victorious.
What Kenyans MUST know; LGBTI people exist, have always existed and will continue to exist.
The winds of change on LGBTI issues are being experience all over the world and Kenya is no exception.
The struggle continues
Sweetp.
