Controversial NRM General has caused a huge stir on social media after claiming that circumcision is not important. Kenyans could not come to terms with what the Canadian based lawyer.
Miguna Miguna claims that there is no credible proof that male circumcision reduces the rate of HIV infections.
“There is no credible scientific study proving that MALE CIRCUMCISION reduces the rate of HIV infections. Most Caucasian males in Europe and North America are not circumcized yet the rate of HIV among them is much lower than in South Africa where male circumcision is compulsory,” Miguna stated.

Miguna Miguna has claimed that all those health benefits are founded on myths.
That’s a primitive myth, which is irrelevant to the issue addressed in my two Tweets. I referred to “credible scientific study” on the “spread of HIV.” I don’t really care about the overgeneralized so-called “health benefits.” Those are myths that don’t concern me.

Miguna Miguna also refused to reveal if he is circumcised or not. Instead, the NRM General resolved to use the shortest escape route stating that penis has no brains.
Are you just confessing that you’re not circumcised!!?

I’m trying to tell you that your penis has no brain. It is just a bunch of muscles, nerves and tissue.

He also claimed that circumcision is just propaganda intended to perpetuate a xenophobic agenda.
Circumcision is not even 1% guaranteed in terms of the mythical health benefits. It is just the usual propaganda intended to perpetuate a xenophobic agenda.
