16 YEAR OLD DAD DISAPPEARS AS 14 YEAR OLD GIRLFRIEND DELIVERS TRIPLETS


It is too early to report a news like this. But, I'll be forced to.. Daily Nation has reported that A teenager has given birth to triplets in Bungoma County. Fourteen-year-old Mwanaharabu Wamukoya of Harambee village in Kakamega County, Kenya was admitted to Bungoma District Hospital on Saturday evening and had a Caesarean Section on Sunday to deliver three baby boys. Two of the new-borns weighed 1.5 kilogrammes while the third one weighed 1.3 kilogrammes.

The Nursing officer-in-charge, Mary Marumbu said the babies and their mother were in good condition and ready to be discharged anytime. The supposed father of the babies, a 16-year-old boy, has been reported to have disappeared on learning that the girl had given birth to triplets. The teen is a school dropout and does menial jobs. The arrival of the triplets is said to have distressed him.

“He has no ability to take care of the babies even if he was here. We are grateful to the government for scrapping off maternity fees because I will be free to go home once discharged. I would have been detained here if I had been asked to pay,”
the teenage mother said.

Health practitioners in the country have expressed concern over the increasing rates of teenage pregnancies.

This is wahala.
