KISII, Kenya, Oct 18 — West Mugirango MP Stephen Mogaka has urged parents and guardians to closely supervise their children during the long school holiday, warning of risks including teenage pregnancies, drug abuse and child labour.
Speaking at Bosiango SDA Church in Nyamira County, Mogaka said the extended break leaves children vulnerable to social vices if they are left without proper guidance and supervision.
“I want to urge all parents to take care of their children during this long holiday. This is a long break and our children are at home. It is your responsibility as a parent to know where your child is, who they are with and what they are doing,” Mogaka said.
