Khwisero: Parents and guardians whose school-going daughters become pregnant while at school have been urged not to procure abortions for them but to instead support them to safely deliver and return to school under the government's learner re-entry policy. Khwisero Member of Parliament, Christopher Aseka, emphasized that no child should be denied education because of pregnancy, noting that schools are required to readmit teenage mothers after childbirth to enable them to complete their studies.

According to Kenya News Agency, speaking during the handover of a school bus worth Sh11 million funded by NG-CDF at Eshibinga Senior School in Kisa East Ward, Aseka advised parents to prioritize the safety and future of their children by avoiding decisions that could expose them to the dangers associated with unsafe abortions. He stated, "It is better to allow the child to give birth and later return to school than expose her to the dangers of abortion. Pregnancy should not mark the end of a girl's education because she still has a future to pursue."

The MP made these remarks following reports of an alleged abortion involving a school-going girl in the constituency. He said the incident should prompt families to embrace lawful and safe options that protect the lives and wellbeing of learners. Aseka warned that anyone found befriending school-going children or facilitating criminal acts against them would face the full force of the law, emphasizing that those responsible would be arrested and prosecuted.

Aseka appealed to parents to support teenage girls facing unplanned pregnancies with care, counselling, and appropriate medical attention, saying such support gives them a chance to resume their education and rebuild their lives. He also called on education stakeholders, health workers, and community leaders to strengthen awareness on adolescent reproductive health and child protection to ensure learners remain safe and complete their education.
