The President of Tanzania, John Magufuli appears to have the solution to the high level of prostitution among women in his country.
The leader who is known for his radical style of governance is reported by PulseLive to have asked Tanzanian men to marry two or more women to reduce the rate of prostitution among Women.
Magufuli told a gathering of men that unmarried women are resorting to adultery due to ‘lack of men to marry.’
“I am not forcing you, but just encouraging you to marry two or more wives to reduce on women staying without husbands”, Magufuli said.
The Tanzanian President was speaking to a conference of about 14,000 men who had gathered to receive training in life skills.
Tanzania is reported to have the highest level of prostitution in East Africa among 40 million women. There are 30 million men in the East African nation.
“Our women are crying every day due to lack of men to marry and support them economically hence they engage in prostitution. So please try to work hard and be productive so that you can help our women by marrying two or more wives provided you are able to provide for their basic needs,” he added.
President Magufuli has also advised men to avoid abusing their wives saying “As government, we shall be giving some small incentives to such men provided you don’t abuse your wives”, said Magufuli.
