Published on June 19, 2020, a report highlighted the alarming rate of teenage pregnancies in Kenya, with over 4,000 cases recorded in Machakos county in the last three months.
Atheists in Kenya have rejected a proposal by Education CS George Magoha to block all pornographic sites in the country, citing it as an ineffective measure to reduce teenage pregnancies.
According to Atheists Society in Kenya (AIK) President Harrison Mumia, the real reason behind the high rate of teenage pregnancies is the lack of safe sex practices among teenagers.
Mr. Mumia stated, 'We would like to inform CS Magoha that watching pornography is not the reason we are having many cases of teenage pregnancy in the country. Teenagers are getting pregnant because they are having unprotected sex. That is the only way to get pregnant.'
