Machakos woman rep Kamene urges girls to tone down seductive behaviours to reduce teenage pregnancies
Machakos woman representative Joyce Kamene has condemned the rising cases of teenage pregnancies across the country. The legislator, in the same breath, urged young girls to tone down on seductive behaviours that make their male counterparts thirst for them thinking they are ripe.
Speaking during the unveiling of 10, 0000 litres of 60 water tanks at in Mlolongo, on Thursday, July 2, Kamene also prevailed on local administrators to be vigilant and report cases whenever they happen despite incidents of intimidation.
"In case you fear intimidation bring culprits in my offices, we can't allow younger girls' bright future to be spoilt because of a few people who cannot hold their horses,” she said. The MP went ahead to say that the war against teenage pregnancies could not be won if the girls themselves could not be the first ones to take responsibilities.
“Girls should stop using vulgar language in their conversations in presence of male counterparts. Exhibiting seductive behaviours makes them look like they are ripe for intercourse yet this is not true. It's a faux pas for a 13-year-old girl to say hi to her father's age mate, this is suggestive that you know what, am ripe!” she posed.
The woman representative also raised objection against sexual education in schools, saying it would enhance, not reduce teenage pregnancies because the teens are prone to doing experiments.
"What is learnt will be experimented by the teens. There will be more cases of pregnancies if we allow these issues in our curriculum,” she added.
She nonetheless, rejected Nakuru senator Susan Kihika’s controversial bill on progressive abortion to younger girls.
