Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has ignited controversy by proposing that the Kenyan government adopt a two-child per family policy. This suggestion comes amidst discussions comparing the new Kenya Kwanza's Linda Taifa/Linda Jamii initiative with the previous administration's Linda Mama policy.

• Senator Cherargei argued the two-child policy, similar to Japan's, would ensure a "quality and affordable lifestyle for most families in Kenya."
• He contrasted Linda Taifa/Linda Jamii, which provides comprehensive family healthcare coverage, with Linda Mama's focus solely on maternal healthcare for pregnant mothers and newborns.
• President William Ruto recently defended the Linda Mama programme, acknowledging his administration's Linda Jamii program learned "immensely" from its predecessor and improved upon it, now covering prenatal, natal, and postnatal healthcare.
