Basic Education PS Belio Kipsang’ has warned men preying and impregnating teenage girls of unspecified regrettable consequences, saying adults should instead protect the vulnerable in society.
Speaking yesterday at the Meru County Commissioner’s headquarters while supervising the opening and distribution of the examination papers, Kipsang’ regretted that there has been an increase in the number of young girls doing their exams from hospital this year as compared to previous years.
“We are supposed to protect these children. In most cases, the people responsible are not our school boys because for every 100 girls, maybe five were impregnated by schoolmates while the majority of the others were impregnated by adult men,” he said.

He asked men to be mindful of the vulnerable girls’ future by protecting them as they are future investments.
“Let us give our children an opportunity to be just children. Let us enable them to realize their full potential. Anybody who tries to compromise their education is their enemy. We want our children to be what God intended them to be in the future. When you wake up, God is happy with what you do,” said Kipsang’.
