Kenya hit by condom shortage due to a surge in "Tatata" activities

Kenya is currently experiencing a condom scarcity, raising concerns about the availability of safe sex practices and the rising cost of protection.

Even while the cost of accessible condoms continues to grow, the lack of condoms has delayed the delivery of free contraceptives.

As part of attempts to reduce sexually transmitted illnesses, like as HIV/AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea, and unwanted pregnancies, Kenyans have long relied on the availability to male condoms through public spaces like latrines, clinics, and condom dispensers.




The National Syndemic Diseases Control Council's (NSDCC) CEO, Dr Ruth Laibon, emphasized the urgency of finding a quick fix, particularly given the decreasing supply of free condoms. She acknowledged that condoms are still on sale in stores.


The nation has a plentiful supply of condoms.


The difficulty is probably related to the decline in the number of free condoms available, she said.


The declining external resources, which were formerly supplemented by the government's allocation for condom procurement, are principally to blame for the decline in the availability of free condoms.
