Embu County Women Representative Rose Rwamba Mitaru has urged men not to undergo Vasectomy until they are sure that their children can father further descendants.
She said men offering themselves for vasectomy as a method for family planning will lead to the reduction in the population of the country.
Mitaru said that the consumption of illicit brews and chewing of khat has led to reduced fertility among men in the country and that vasectomy would further aggravate the problem.
“I have heard our men who have had two or three children go to the doctor to seek vasectomy. I would like to tell them to do their homework and see that many youths engage in illicit brews and chewing of khat and have become unable to father children, Which means eventually the number of people who can father children will reduce,” she said these while speaking to Embu residents on Saturday,
This comes a week after the world vasectomy day was marked in the world, with 150 men undergoing vasectomy in Nairobi.
The process has also received condemnation from religious leaders in the Country terming the process as `ungodly`.
