Nakuru County is championing the empowerment of the boy child to promote the boys' well-being and retention in educational institutions.
The County Chief Officer for Resource Mobilisation, Ms.
Alice Abuki, said the County government was prioritising the rights of the boy child through public-private partnerships towards ensuring the boys' retention in educational institutions, fighting drug and substance abuse, and promoting their mental health wellness.
While acknowledging that the Kenyan society had given the girl child a lot of focus, forgetting the boys, the Chief Officer said the County government was keen to rectify the scenario, adding that it was time the society took a bold step to campaign for the cause of the boy child through an all-inclusive approach.
