Education CS Prof. George Magoha has vowed to push for the ban of all pornographic sites in Kenya.
Magoha said the sites are to blame for the alarming rate of teenage pregnancies in the country, adding that he will petition President Kenyatta and the Cabinet to introduce a law blocking all Kenyans from accessing pornography on the internet.
“You see when you are not thinking about sex but someone opens a pornographic page then you start thinking about it and generating ideas. Why is that site accessible in Kenya? Who needs it?” posed Magoha.
“Don’t tell us because it is accessible in the US that it should be accessible here. There many countries in Africa and Asia that have blocked it and their culture is better.”
He was reacting to a report released on Wednesday showing that thousands of school-going girls aged below 19 years have been impregnated in the past three months following the closure of schools due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
But Magoha raised questions on the authenticity of the figures, insinuating that they have been exaggerated by NGOs that are keen to push for the introduction of sex education in schools.
“I would like to interrogate the rate of pregnancies because they look obnoxious. I am asking myself as a professor, did these girls go and report that they are pregnant? Who is giving us these figures because they seem to be definitive? Could some NGOs who are keen on pushing sex education be using these exaggerated numbers,” asked Magoha while speaking in Nakuru.
He nevertheless called for tougher action against sex pests who are taking advantage of school girls.
Professor before you ban…
Professor before you ban porn where is the law? If the girls are below 18 yrs that is child abuse.If above 18 yrs.were they raped or it was consensual
Where is our own path?…
Where is our own path? Kenyans and Africans wake up. No more interference in our education by foreigners. Mr. Mahoga, nobody needs to push anything foreign into our own system. Why do we have NGO’S in Africa ? NGO’s are not found anywhere else other than Africa where they use negative propaganda on Africans ? What are they for? After 400 years we dont need to learn their history of racism against the black nation. We now know how they treat blacks in their own countries. We need our own education system. Mr. Mahoga gather Kenyan and Africans together go create our own system of education. Let the NGO’S go and create an education system in their own countries. Their countries need help during the pandemic. We need African education, created by Africans to help Africa.
Is he talking from…
Is he talking from experience? I have not seen any studies linking the two.
It would be more useful if he vowed the government would provide quality education to all students in kenya.
piece of shit man. Very…
piece of shit man. Very stupid analysis from someone who makes an uneducated conclusion. How about make it easier and cheaper to have condoms and abortions. Even before all these porn sites, teenage pregnancy was high. Even other African countries that most of its citizens don’t have the luxury of smartphones still have a high teenage pregnancy.
So your solution to the…
So your solution to the problem is to ban porn, what an idiot.
Looks like Kenyan minor…
Looks like Kenyan minor girls will be safe from predators once porn is banned. Magoha is prescribing a snake oil and ignoring the main problem: predators abusing minors. Porn or no porn, predators will still attempt to defile kids. So the minister should be channeling resources on prevention of pedophiles and protection of kids.
Children need to back to…
Children need to back to school.
Is this from personal…
Is this from personal experience or anecdotal? There are no studies linking the two.
That’s just a first step…
That’s just a first step towards curbing an alarming state of teenage behavior. Kids need to focus of education, setting a solid and positive foundation in their lives and worrying less about all the ills society has to offer. It is very unfortunate that porn sites are accessible to adults who have control over themselves after watching them rather than kids whose perception of “adult relations” are distorted. Kenya is a conservative state, no good in rushing into being too liberal like the west. And that’s what we pride ourselves with. The fact that we grew up sheltered and protected from the ills (porn) of the society should have us be at the forefront in supporting the ban of pornography in Kenya. But hey ikiwa “uliharibika” mapema, and feel the need to have every kid who will definitely get access to porn “haribika” like, find a shrink if you can afford one or find Jesus.

The internet is supposed to be a place of absolute freedom. Don’t police it, unless it’s a police state
