The Court of Appeal has upheld a decision by a lower court that allowed members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community to formally register their own organisation. Gitari is a co-founder of the National Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission. The National Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission released a statement applauding the court's decision. He said there is nothing unlawful and criminal about the objectives of the proposed NGO. Specifically, the proposed NGO would seek to address the violence and human rights abuses suffered by gay and lesbian people.
