The Assistant County Commissioner, Narok Central division, Abdi Shakur Ali said the county has improved from 48 per cent to 28 percent on teenage pregnancies.

“Though the county has improved, there is still a lot of efforts we need to address as stakeholders,” said Ali He added that Narok county is still among the few counties where retrogessive practices are still rampant.

He said teenage pregnancies are still a challenge among the girl child in the society, and the event is important as it aims to end violence against women and girls in the society.
