Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has faulted the high court for ruling against gay sex.
The high court on Friday declined to decriminalize sections of the Penal Code that make it illegal to have consensual same sex in Kenya.
Judges Roselyn Aburili, Chacha Mwita, and John Mativo dismissed the case filed by Eric Gitari.
During the reading of the judgment, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex groups, which sought decriminalization of sections 162 and 165 of the law, had flooded the courtroom.
Taking to her Twitter, Passaris stated that the court erred in trying to determine what adults can do with their bodies.
“Who are we to deny consenting adults the joy of love and sex? It is time for us to live and let live,” Passaris said.
While making the ruling, the judges said declaring the sections illegal would create conflict article 45(2) of the Constitution which states that marriage is between a man and a woman.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is among individuals who have opposed the legalization of same-sex relationships.
