Just a few days after on line users blusted the KFCB CEO Ezekiel Mutua foer supporting Cathy Kiuna and her husband Bishop Kiuna for welcoming self proclaimed gay jourtnalist Richard Quest to their church, Mr Mutua has now opened up on his stand towards the gay people in a long post he said,
“How can anyone twist my post on Richard Quest going to JCC church to say that I support gayism? How does anyone reach that conclusion from a straightforward post like this? I have stood firm against homosexual content even when it wasn’t convenient to do so. I have taken on organisations and people no one else would have dared to touch. When Nickelodeon attempted to introduce gay cartoons on one of the pay to view channels, I resisted the move and reversed it completely. No gay content on our screens and it won’t happen under my watch. But that doesn’t mean that I hate gay people. Far from it. I hate the sin, not the sinner. These self righteous zealots throwing stones on me or the Kiunas should shape up. Richard Quest was in Kenya as a journalist and he did very positive stories about the country than probably any other foreign journalist.
His visit to the JCC and interview with Kathy was within his journalistic work. About being allowed to speak on the pulpit or the ” holy madhabahu” as the hypocritical netizen terrorists call it, that’s the prerogative of the Kiunas. And I support it. You can bar him from your church but don’t dictate to others how they should exercise discretion, grace or judgment. I have never been to Kiunas church and we have no interactions. But I love them to bits. Anyone who can rise from the grass to where they are and conquer the odds of life to be who the Kiunas are is to be celebrated. If you think they fleece people, then don’t go to their church. But let me tell off the hypocrites who attacked the Sunday happenings at JCC: Your self righteousness is filthy rags before God. I don’t need blind followers who are ignorant and malicious. We can’t change the world by being so petty and narrow minded as to think Quest defiled the church by being allowed to speak. And on a more serious note, we must fight gayism from spreading in Kenya, but we should not hate gay people or attack them. I stated on this wall in 2016 that if a gay person applied for a job at KFCB and passed the interview on merit, they would get the job and be treated with dignity. There’s a whole lot of difference between regulating gay content and hating people. If anyone followed me here because you thought I hate gay people, please unfollow me or block yourself. I do not hate gay people neither should you. What would you do if your child became gay? Or it’s only children of sinners who are prone to such? We must be objective and deal with issues without using social media for hatred or blind populism based on religious hypocrisy!”
