Chieftainess Waitwika of the Namwanga people in
Nakonde district in Muchinga Province has requested non-
governmental organisations to revisit the administration of
contraceptives to schoolgirls in the name of preventing
unwanted pregnancies as it is contributing to moral decay in
the country.
She said in an interview on Sunday that a number of
unmarried girls in her chiefdom are on long-acting
contraceptives provided by some NGOs which have made
them to indulge in sex.
Chieftainess Waitwika said some of girls who started taking contraceptives
from childhood have complained of difficulties to conceive
when they get married.
She said it is unfortunate that most girls
are no longer scared of engaging in sex.
Chieftainess Waitwika said the best way to help girls is to
continue offering them counsel on the importance of living a
morally upright life.
