Pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2) (c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research, regarding the increased teenage pregnancies in the country as highlighted during the just concluded Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and the on-going Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams. Teenage pregnancies in Kenya among school going girls is worrying to say the least. Teenage pregnancies refer to girls between ages of 15 to 19 years getting pregnant. Those cases of early teenage pregnancies in Kenya have diverse effect not only to the individual, but to the community as a whole. According to the Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS) of 2014, early child bearing is highest in some counties. According to KDHS of 2014, teenage pregnancies are highest within the counties of Narok followed by Homa Bay County at 33.3 per cent, followed by Nyamira and other counties within the country. In this regard, I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
