Never again: Kaluma vows to stop LGBTQ influence on Gen Z protests
By Cynthia Lodite, September 15, 2025Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Kaluma has boldly accused the Gen Z movements in Kenya of being led and promoted by LGBTQ donors and groups, which he states mislead the young people to the streets.
In his statement on his official X account on Monday, September 15, 2025, Kaluma claimed that the 2024 Gen Z riots misled the young people while terming it as satanic.
“The “Gen Z” riots in Kenya were led, funded, promoted and facilitated by homosexuality/LGBTQ individuals, donors and groups,” Kaluma said.
According to Kaluma, who called out the LGBTQ movement, also firmly stated that never again will people in immoral and unlawful relationships mislead young people to go to the streets for what he alleges are hidden satanic ends.
“Never again will people in immoral & unlawful relationships mislead our Children to go to the streets for hidden satanic ends! SANCTION THEM!” he boldly stated.
It is worth noting that two years ago, Kaluma disclosed that he was receiving threats after he intended to table a Bill before the National Assembly to increase the severity of the penalty for homosexual offenders.
Protests
On September 10, 2025, Saboti MP Caleb Amisi described the uprising as part of a “global wave of youthful awakening,” noting its influence both locally and internationally.
He pointed to the role of Gen Z in the United States, where youth activism has shaped discourse around leaders such as former President Donald Trump. Amisi urged Kenyan youth to channel their energy into building a “renaissance” that promotes accountability and inclusivity.
Kaluma’s remarks follow former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s claims that William Ruto’s support for LGBTQ goes against what the people of Kenya stand for.
Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka also praised the demonstrations during an Inter-party Cooperation Forum on September 10, 2025.
He called the movement a courageous stand against leadership focused on selfish gains, urging young Kenyans to remain fearless and conviction-driven in steering the nation toward constitutionalism and the rule of law.
Despite the controversy, the Gen Z movement continues to influence Kenya’s political landscape. In a July 29, 2025, radio interview, Amisi urged youth to look beyond street protests and embrace formal politics.
“Real power is not in trending hashtags or viral placards but in numbers, in Parliament,” he said, encouraging young people to register, vote, and seek elective office.
