Kilungu Sub-county chairman in sports, Sylvester Wambua, has challenged parents to encourage and support their children in participating in co-curricular activities.
Wambua noted that some parents do not want their children to participate in games, adding that they are doing them more harm than good.
“Sports itself is a form of employment. It even helps children to be alert in class and keep fit, besides other benefits. We should support them fully,” Wambua said.

Wambua, who is also the headteacher of Katulye Primary School, noted that there is a lack of professionals, as most teachers are not conversant with games, calling upon the ministry to offer more training.
He noted that as the subcounty has two pupils, a boy and a girl, who were picked by Talanta Hela last year, adding that he is sure many others will be picked.
