"It is Very Selfish," Mungai Eve Says Financially Unstable People Should Not Have Kids

Kenyan digital Creator Mungai Eve has addressed the issue of family planning and tough economic situation in the country.

In an interview in where she hosted Eric Omondi  and Liz Jackson, Mungai Eve said it is unfortunate that people who are not financially stable are the ones giving birth to many children.

"Sometimes you see someone in a small home with 10 kids, and they’re still expecting. Personally, I don’t like that. I think it’s selfish to bring a child into the world without knowing how you’ll provide for them.”

The YouTuber said she is not in a rush to bring a child into the world because even though people think she is financially stable, there is a lifestyle she wants for her child.

“Many ask me what financial stability means regarding having a child. I don’t debate it online, but I feel unprepared. Yes, I’m financially stable, but I envision a particular lifestyle for my child. Choosing the right father is important, too. I think rushing into parenthood without thoughtful preparation is selfish, which is why I may wait another five years. Bringing a child into the world should take time."

She added that people should be educated on family planning and the use of contraceptives.
