According to the 2019 National Population and Housing Census, 42.81 per cent of Kakamega County’s population comprises of children aged between 5-19 years.<\/p>\n

“The street children menace, poverty and teenage pregnancies among others headline the challenges facing this population in the County.”<\/p>\n

On Monday, the county CEC for Social Services Mophat Mandela led his officers, and MCAs from the Delegated Legislative Committee through the Policy which once operationalised will address all issues facing the children.<\/p>\n

Mandela thanked the MCAs for prioritising the exercise saying implementation of the document was long overdue. Its details, he stated, will be disseminated to relevant stakeholders before the policy is published and officially launched by the governor.<\/p>\n
