BEING SINGLE IS THE ‘IN THING’!

In a survey that has put 16M Kenyans below the extreme poverty line of less than $1 a day income, a new issue has gone unnoticed.

That the number of adults who have never married is on the rise with those choosing to be single standing at 38%.

It quotes Rift Valley province with the highest singles at 48% followed by Western with 40%.

Single hood has been blamed on secularization and the modern work ethics taking centre stage. Education also shares blame as a delay agent of marriage.

The survey was funded by the Government to the tune of Ksh620M

Is this a case of the men and women having their cake and eating it too?

  1. We have better things to do than get married and have babies unlike generations past, we have to get our grind on! If you dont grind you dont shine! If you dont work you dont eat! That's simple!
