What you need to know:

  • Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection Ms Florence Bore noted, having state owned public rescue centres will curb child trafficking in the country
  • She stated the government, in partnership with well-wishers will work out to have state managed rescue centres where affected children can be held for a while before being integrated with families and the community
  • Children held at rescue centres, the CS observed, are not supposed to stay for long saying the centres are meant to hold them for a while before a solution is found

The government is set to close existing privately-owned children homes as it works out plans of establishing its own public children rescue centres.
