    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 52(1) to make a Statement on a matter of national concern regarding the rising incident of unintended pregnancies and abortion-related complications, largely attributed to ineffective contraceptive methods and gaps in reproductive health care services. A recent study titled, Incidents of Induced Abortion and Related Complications in Kenya, conducted by the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and International Partners, reveals that Kenya recorded over 1.4 million unintended pregnancies in 2023. Alarming 35 per cent of women who used emergency contraceptive pills still conceived, raising serious concerns about the efficiency, availability, and appropriate use of contraceptive options within our health system. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
