Is Kenya Showing Interest in China’s One Child Policy?

Winchester, VA – LifeSite News is sounding the warning siren over a conference held in Kenya last month entitled the Africa-China Conference on Population and Development. The conference was hosted by China, the United Nations Population Fund, and Kenya. Although billed as, “a platform where researchers and practitioners in population and development can share experiences, best practices and lessons on population and development,” there were definite pro-one child policy sentiments expressed by the Africans. Kenyan government minister Irungu Nyakera suggested that Africa could benefit from China’s population and development lessons, especially with regards to decreasing population. UN Resident Coordinator in Kenya Siddharth Chatterjee said, “China is an example to the rest of the developing countries when it comes to family planning.” Uh. No.
