Opposition leader Raila Odinga has revealed that the tetanus vaccine given in 2014 by the government is illegal and has severely affected the ability of women to get children.
Odinga highlighted that the Catholic Church had previously warned against the vaccine but the government pushed their claims aside.
"We can confirm that the church was right and now hundreds of girls and women between 15- 49years will not have children," stated Raila during a press address on Monday afternoon.
He further added that he had significant proof that the vaccine had a high content of a hormone which causes sterility in women.
"Based on results, the tetanus vaccine is a human rights abuse to women in Kenya and the number of victims is hard to ascertain.
"We had tests carried out by Nairobi Hospital, Lancet and University of Nairobi and results indicate the vaccine should not have been used," he revealed.
Odinga bashed the government for pushing aside the concerns of the Catholic church saying they proceeded without providing any proof.
"Kenyans have approached us and we cross checked with experts. The government was hell bent in misleading the country," he stated.
He termed the vaccination a 'mass sterilisation program' and demanded answers from the government.
