Busia County has launched the children's policy to help in handling and championing the children's rights and protection in the county.
Speaking during the celebration of the Day of the African Child at Busende Primary School on Monday, Busia County Commissioner Chaunga Mwachaunga called for increased budget allocation for children's welfare. "In line with this year's theme, I urge all partners to factor in serious funding and budget allocation in children's welfare.
This should also include their protection and security.
Through these, we will build a community where no child is left behind,' he said Mwachaunga described the children as the greatest resources, hope and future of the society and economy, adding that every individual has to protect their rights, nurture their dreams and ensure they have the tools to thrive.
