Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen urged parents to instill good values in their children for their future well-being. He spoke on Sunday in Elgeyo Marakwet, emphasizing the importance of nurturing children's minds. Murkomen stressed that harmful influences could damage young people long term. He highlighted the need to prioritize children's mental development over material provisions. Parents who fail to guide their children properly will face heartache later, he warned.
Some adults meant to guide youth actually promote negative behaviors, Murkomen said during his visit with President William Ruto to an African Inland Church service. His comments followed recent unrest at Butere Girls High School, where students protested after authorities arrested their drama director, Cleophas Malala. The situation escalated until police dispersed students with tear gas. President Ruto called for protecting children from corrupting influences that teach hatred toward parents, teachers, leaders, or the nation. He also pledged educational support from his administration, encouraging parents to nurture their children's talents across sports, arts, or academics.
