Traditional methods of circumcision will be outlawed if Parliament enacts Kandara MP Alice Wahome's Bill on non-medical male cut. Traditional circumcision ceremonies are common among the Bukusu, Tiriki, Kalenjin, Meru and Maasai. Wahome's Health (Amendment) Bill, 2020, restricts male circumcision to medically safe and hygienic conditions. The national and county governments will be required to formulate policies which guide male circumcision to avert incidents, some of which can be fatal. The policies will ensure the safety of male circumcision which must be performed in hygienic environments.
