CHATO (Tanzania), July 11 (NNN-AGENCIES) — Tanzanian President John Magufuli has told women to “set your ovaries free” and have more children to help the country’s economy grow.
“When you have a big population you build the economy. That’s why China’s economy is so huge. I know that those who like to block ovaries will complain about my remarks. Set your ovaries free, let them block theirs,” he said at a gathering in his home town of Chato.
This isn’t the first time he has urged women to have more children. The last time was in September.
Last year Magufuli said curbing the birth rate was “for those too lazy to take care of their children”. — NNN-AGENCIES
