Through a statement, the body stated that the rise in teenage pregnancies is due to unprotected sex and the solution is to teach children about safe sex. “We would like to inform Prof Magoha that watching pornography is not the reason we are having many cases of teenage pregnancies in Kenya. Banning pornography to stop school girls from getting pregnant is like banning wine glasses to reduce alcoholism,” read the statement in part. Magoha on Thursday strongly criticized those taking advantage of school-going children, alluding some of the cases of early pregnancies to early exposure to pornography. Many countries have blocked them and their culture is better.”On the recent report on teenage pregnancies in various counties, Magoha urged parents to teach their children to learn to say no and make morally upright decisions.
