Pauline Njoroge responds to MP Kururia’s post on women in their 30s without children
By David Nthua, December 28, 2025Jubilee Party’s Deputy Organising Secretary Pauline Njoroge has hit out at Gatundu North Member of Parliament Elijah Kururia following a series of controversial remarks he made about women in their 30s without children.
Pauline Njoroge faults Kururia on childless women
Taking to her Facebook page on Sunday, December 28, 2025, Njoroge expressed concern over what she described as the continued erosion of leadership standards in Kenya’s Parliament.
She said the country was once served by leaders of depth and vision, including Tom Mboya, Mwai Kibaki, Argwings Kodhek, Grace Onyango, Martha Karua, Mutula Kilonzo, Ronald Ngala, George Anyona and Chelagat Mutai.
According to Njoroge, those leaders understood that leadership was rooted in ideas, service and respect, values she argued are increasingly absent in current political discourse.
“Today, remarks as those made by Elijah Kururia force us to confront how low our nation has fallen,” she wrote.
“When a parliamentarian makes light of women’s bodies, health and life choices, he undermines not only women, but the dignity of Parliament itself.”
She further cited the motto of the Parliament of Kenya, saying it calls for maturity, empathy and responsibility from those elected to serve.
What Kururia said about women in their 30s
Njoroge also noted that Kururia sits in Parliament courtesy of voters from Gatundu North, adding that leadership standards reflect the choices citizens make at the ballot.
Her response followed a Facebook post by Kururia that has since sparked widespread backlash.
In the post, the MP wrote: “They take P2 to remain babyless and be considered YOUNG, HOT and MARKETABLE, na no Njagiri. Others abort to be seen as good, young, fresh and hot.”
The remarks drew sharp criticism online, with many Kenyans describing them as sexist, offensive and unbecoming of a sitting legislator.
Njoroge argued that if Kenyans were serious about integrity and dignity in leadership, such comments would attract swift consequences, including calls for resignation.
However, she observed that some people were already moving to defend the MP.
In another post, which now got the attention of Pauline Njoroge and Kenyans as well, Njoroge stated that the reason why many women in their 30s are childless is that many have normalised swallowing P2 pills and excess alcohol.
You are 30 years plus; Umekunywa P2 na Pombe, for ten years, Ndio usizae, Kwani hauna uterus? Ata huwezi zaa mamako? Wewe. In 10 years, you’ll be 40
