Army church Bishop Samuel Ogallo has said same-sex marriage should not be encouraged in the country as it goes against Christianity teachings and beliefs.

Bishop Ogallo emphasized that the church only recognises the marriage of different genders as they are expected to give birth and fill the world.

He was speaking on Saturday at Kandalo village,Nyahera in Kisumu county during the burial of Bishop Amos Owili Wasala of Children of the Promise Church (CPC) Kawangware.

Ogallo urged churches not to officiate same-sex marriage. "The practice of those people is purely having a union and companion but not marriage," he said warning that the same-sex union is slowly taking root in the country.
