Somali’s religion and culture prohibits family planning
In the next two decades, Somalis will have overtaken the top three largest communities in Kenya to be the most populous group if the current population trends remain.
The latest Household Survey shows that Somalis’ families are at least one and a half times bigger than the average household in Kenya, and twice as much as the families in Nyeri, Nairobi, Mombasa and Kiambu counties.
Wajir, Mandera and Garissa counties, which are home to most Kenyan Somalis, have between six and seven children on average, according to the Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey (KIHBS), 2015/16.

Hopefully as their wealth and education levels increase the size of their families will become standard normal rich counties like Nyeri have smallest family sizes
Ukweli kabisa, Somalis are increasing both demographically and economically. A few years ago, Luthuli was dominated by Indians and shiny eyes. Today, they are literary taking over the CBD from the muranga elites.
With devolution, the northern frontier counties will develop and the somalis will gain political power.
Some years to come, IEBC will be forced to create more constituencies in the north part of the country as the population of Somalis increase. Half of MPs will be from that region.
The luhyas are many but they are very poor. That is why they have no option but to tow the line for others.
The luos are not many but are confident, that’s why they lead their shemejis.
Population is nothing if you lack power and influence, which is why the Tigray tribe
in Ethiopia which accounts for 6% of the general population control the political and economic manenos over there.
Why have 6 kids if you can’t feed them? They need to have birth control forced on them because a hungry child is not only a burden to the parent but to the nation as a whole.
Are we forgetting that most of them are illegal citizens?
Their population increase cannot be caused only by giving birth. Their influx has been on the high since immigration realized issuing illegal i.ds to refugees is a good source of extra cash
Hii upuzi ya kusema Somalis don’t use family planning ndio wamekuwa wengi ikome!!!
Somali elites are trying to justify their irregular numbers, ukweli ni Somalis from Somalia got IDs and have contributed to these numbers.
Maasai hawatumii contraceptives, wanaoa bibi wengi na ardi yao ni mzuri kwa mifugo kushinda North eastern mbona population percentage increase since 1989 sio kama ya wasomali???
watu waache kubebwa ufala, most of these Somalis are from Somalia sio Kenyan Somalis.
