If Kenya was reduced to a village of 100 people, 22 of those people would be Kikuyu, 14 would be Luhya, and 13 would be Luo.

Of the remaining, 11 would be Kamba, 6 Kisii, 6 Meru, 15 of other African tribes, and 1 Asian/European. Only 1 would be Maasai. 10 people live in Nairobi, 3 in Mombasa and almost 2 in Kisumu.

Abortion is illegal in Kenya. The Kenyan penal code criminalizes it, promising stiff punishment to those who practice it.

This effectively means that any woman or girl lucky enough to survive a backstreet (which they usually are) abortion ordeal, and who is subsequently found out by the authorities, risks getting hauled off to court where society will condemn her further for breach of what many legal intellectuals increasingly view as a moral wrong (an offence in the same league as say adultery or premarital sex, for those countries with secular legal regimes, which nevertheless still punish these).
