Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has asked Mt Kenya families not to fear siring children.
In an interview with Inooro FM on Friday, October 6, the DP said he regrets siring two children during his time.
He asked the Mt Kenya people to each have at least 7 children per couple.
The DP went on to tell the Mt Kenya people not to worry about how they will provide for their children as God will intervene.
"I regret siring at least two children. I was stupid. I was misled by the white man to limit my lineage. I urge our Mt Kenya families to sire at least seven per couple. God will provide for you," he said.
