Kenyan digital creator Mungai Eve recently discussed the challenges of family planning amid the country’s tough economic climate.

In an interview featuring Eric Omondi and Liz Jackson, Mungai Eve expressed concern that many individuals facing financial instability are having numerous children, a trend she finds troubling given the current economic pressures.

“Sometimes you see someone in a small home with 10 kids, and they’re still expecting. Personally, I don’t like that. I think it’s selfish to bring a child into the world without knowing how you’ll provide for them.”

The YouTuber shared that she’s in no hurry to have a child, despite assumptions about her financial stability. She explained that she envisions a particular lifestyle for her future child, which she wants to be fully prepared to provide before taking that step.

“Many ask me what financial stability means regarding having a child. I don’t debate it online, but I feel unprepared. Yes, I’m financially stable, but I envision a particular lifestyle for my child. Choosing the right father is important, too. I think rushing into parenthood without thoughtful preparation is selfish, which is why I may wait another five years. Bringing a child into the world should take time.”
