A Kenyan politician has advised men to marry more than
one wife as one way of combating prostitution. David
Gikaria, a Nakuru, Kenya Member of Parliament said
that if men married more than one wife then prostitution
would end because all single women will get husbands.
Speaking on Monday, September 14 at a free medical
camp he had organized in his constituency, Gikaria, who
has three wives, said that prostitution is on the increase in
Kenyan towns because women lack husbands.
"
There are so many women in our towns who
don’t have husbands or men in their lives and this
forces them to resort to prostitution and this thing
can be solved if only men agree to marry more than
one wife," he said. "Why should we allow these
women to suffer cold at night when we can take
care of them in our homes." he added. Gikaria
gave his own example saying that he has three wives
and called on men to learn from him. "I think those
people who have money especially MPs are well off
should lead from the front by marrying many
wives," said Gikaria.
