I was talking to a Pakistani late last year and he told me it's very hard to spot a teen pregnant and all men expect to marry virgins in their 30s.

My response to him was like this.

If you go on our national broadcaster and announce that you have 1 million shillings and the first virgin who will show up in the next 3 hours will walk away with the cash, you might end up waiting for 3 weeks

There is a big difference between children brought up within a culture and children who grow up without culture like stray dogs.

Sadly true. Halafu uongeze the dear old ubonobo into the mix. Kazi ni sex and akoho in between complaining how govt is making everybody poorer....

These pastoral communities share a similar tradition (called beading) where morans give beads to very young girls and sleep with them. Warani are adored in the community and the young girls feel privileged to be associated with them. Same could be the issue in parts of Baringo and Marsabit.
