What you need to know:
- The county government is processing bursaries for 53 street children who showed interest in going back to school.
- A total of eight institutions across Nakuru’s seven sub-counties will accommodate them.
- Mr Kimemia noted that some children are greatly affected by drug addiction and need counselling.
The Nakuru County government is still grappling with the challenge of controlling street families in Nakuru town, seven years ever after the advent of devolution.
Street children are still roaming freely in Nakuru town even after Governor Lee Kinyanjui’s earlier order that they be registered in a bid to re-integrate them in the society.
