Gender, Culture and Children Services Cabinet Secretary Hanna Cheptumo has appealed to Kenyans to embrace dialogue as an alternative family dispute resolution mechanism.
According to Cheptumo, some of the family related disputes that have in the recent days degenerated into cases of GBV, could have been resolved amicably through dialogue thereby preventing the unnecessary loss of lives or injury to the victims.
The CS is now calling on members of the community to work towards the restoration of family values and ideals that held the family units together. "We need to sit together as the government, church and the community and establish where we lost our way and the values such as respect, patience and courtesy.
We must also embrace dialogue, so that we are able to solve our issues cordially instead of resorting to GBV or suicide," she stated.
