She also noted that those resulting to kangaroo courts should face the law calling upon any affected person to report such cases fast to the nearest police station.
The county MP revealed that GBV is still high despite the efforts put to end or alleviate it. She called for all leaders to be in the forefront to sensitize the public and the measures to take when faced by any form of it.
She reminded parents to take extra care of their children as well as giving them all the attention needed since many are leaving the responsibility to teachers.
“Let me be clear, even some the relatives you are sending your children to during holidays turn out to be preys. Leave your child to trusted person. Listen to them, guide, counsel and protect them,” Museo said.
