According to Ntazola, parenting requires long-term financial commitment, including providing food, housing, healthcare, and education. She said people who are unable to meet these responsibilities should reconsider having children and instead prioritize family planning.
Her comments included a call for authorities to take action against cases where parents knowingly bring children into situations where they cannot provide adequate support. The remarks were framed around the idea that every child deserves a stable environment and access to basic necessities.
Emphasis on Family Planning
Ntazola has previously encouraged young people to use contraceptives and adopt family planning methods to avoid unplanned pregnancies. In earlier remarks, she urged individuals to “take family planning seriously,” arguing that economic challenges make it difficult for many households to raise children comfortably.
She linked the issue to the rising cost of living, noting that some families struggle to meet essential expenses. According to her, avoiding unplanned pregnancies can help reduce financial pressure on parents and prevent situations where children grow up in unstable conditions.
Family planning advocates and health organizations often highlight contraception as a key tool in helping individuals plan when and how many children they want. Access to reproductive health services has also been linked to improved economic stability and reduced poverty levels in many countries.
Online Reactions
Ntazola’s comments quickly circulated across social media platforms, where they prompted widespread discussion. Some users supported the emphasis on financial responsibility before starting a family, while others criticized the suggestion that legal punishment should be considered.
The debate also touched on broader questions about personal responsibility, economic inequality, and reproductive rights.
