YEAR ENDER: Bittersweet: Supreme Court verdict on LGBTQ that sparked celebration, uproar
The year will go down in the history of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) members in Kenya as one that the Supreme Court gave them justice.
Though the ruling was a reprieve for LGBTQ members, an uproar ensued in the country as a section of Kenyans opposed to the verdict censured the apex court.
LGBTQ members moved to court after the Non-Governmental Organisations Coordination Board refused to register any of the six names proposed by the community's representatives.
After a decade-long battle in the corridor of justice, the Supreme Court made a landmark ruling allowing LGBTQ Members to form associations on February 24,
Supreme Court judges led by Deputy Chief Justice Justices Philomena Mwilu, Smokin Wanjala, and Njoki Ndung'u ruled in favor of the LGBTQ community while justices William Ouko and Mohammed Ibrahim gave dissenting opinions.
The minority side in their decision said the government cannot allow the registration of an organization whose mission was furthering illegality since homosexuality is illegal in Kenya.
The majority decision regretted
