Parents urged to shield children from political goonism -PS Omollo
Kenyan Principal Secretary Dr. Raymond Omollo has urged parents to take a more active role in monitoring their children to prevent them from being recruited into political violence and criminal groups. He emphasized the importance of school-home cooperation in maintaining student discipline and academic focus.
Why it matters
Addressing youth involvement in political goonism is critical for maintaining national security and ensuring the safety of the educational environment in Kenya.
Parents have been urged to take greater responsibility for their children and protect them from politicians and criminal groups seeking to recruit young people into goonism, violence and other unlawful activities.
Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration Dr Raymond Omollo said parents must closely monitor their children’s conduct, academic performance and associations instead of leaving discipline entirely to teachers and school administrators.
“I appeal to parents to know how their children are performing and to work closely with school administrations in addressing indiscipline. Our young people must never be allowed to become agents of violence or political goons,” Dr Omollo said.
