Ignoring the fact that businessman Jimi Wanjigi has only two kids and is a billionaire, he still believes Kenyans can grow richer if they get more kids.
Wanjigi was recently slammed by Kenyans after his statement urging Kenyans to give birth to many children. Many Kenyans doudbted his statement and believe he was just another greedy business man looking to make extra profits.
Family planning
In a video doing rounds on social media, Wanjigi tells Kenyans to have more kids because there is strength in numbers and that the country has enough resources to take care of children.
“Over the years Wazungus have told us about family planning, don’t make many children, everybody two-two, you don’t have the money, land or food. It is fake. China is great because of numbers. Don’t let anyone lie to you. Let us make babies in the family unit, if, unfortunately, we do not succeed, we do it elsewhere. These children are our power today. We want many children in this republic,” he said.

Kenyans, however, believe the billionaire is just lying to increase his profits otherwise he should have done it himself.
“Billionaire Jimi Wanjigi is a father of two kids but he is telling poor Kenyans to give birth to more than two children can he first give birth to another one?” said one person on Twitter.
“You think giving birth is eating bread and butter, then up bring of the child our children needs the best, be an example to us. Bado hujafika menopause continue siring kids in your own house,” stated Bobi.
“Yet he educates his only two kids in the world’s most expensive school found in Switzerland at a whooping 15 million per year. Very misleading remarks,” he said.
