Media personality and digital content creator Andrew Kibe has once again ignited public debate after making a deeply personal revelation about circumcision.

Speaking during an interview with YouTuber Alex Mwakideu in a video released on Thursday, January 8, 2026, the former radio host said he regrets undergoing circumcision, describing it as a decision he wishes he could reverse.

“I wish I had my foreskin,” Kibe stated.

Known for his outspoken and often controversial views, Kibe criticised circumcision, terming it an outdated practice that no longer holds cultural or health relevance in modern society.

“I find circumcision as an outdated practice. I think we should stop circumcising our kids right now. There is no meaning behind it anymore, there is no reason, and it has been debunked, and it has no benefits,” he said.

Kibe argued that circumcision was historically promoted under cultural and health narratives that he believes have since been proven misleading.

“Unajua zamani walikuja wakatudanganya unajua ku-circumcise inasaidia, hiyo ni uwongo, it was a lie,” he added.

The digital creator further criticised societal pressures that continue to normalise the practice, particularly among single-parent households, claiming it has become commercialised.

“There is no reason to circumcise your boys, but society is adjusting to the single woman, the single mother; society is now selling products, and circumcision is one of the products,” Kibe stated.

He also revealed that he would not circumcise his own son, saying he does not believe in subjecting children to the procedure. According to Kibe, many parents, especially single mothers, are persuaded by assurances that anaesthesia minimises pain during circumcision.

“As a man, I am not going to take my son to that kind of process, but as a woman, you are told there is international and local anaesthesia, that the child will be injected so that he does not feel pain,” he said.

Kibe’s remarks have sparked mixed reactions online, with supporters applauding his candidness while others criticised his views, noting that circumcision remains a deeply rooted cultural and medical practice in many communities.
