Addressing parents in Manu, Namwela Location Chief Bramwel Wangwa appealed to parents to be more cautious during this season arguing that innocent children may plunge themselves in unwarranted activities.
“I want to urge parents to take good care of their children, the holiday is long and our children are busy roaming around especially young girls,” Wangwa said.
He said the results in National examinations has been poor during circumcision years pointing Namwela Division as the most affected region in Bungoma West Sub County.
