The President said the government would also start to engage more closely with religious organisations to enforce better morality among school children.

“Church-sponsored schools must be allowed to mentor our children. Look at the level of indiscipline in our schools, it tells you there is something missing in their lives,” he said.

Uhuru further urged churches in the country to continue playing a pivotal role in mentoring school children to ensure they uphold good morals and integrity saying that the church remains an important pillar in the country’s education system.
“I assure you that we must restore the chaplaincy so that we can mentor and spiritually guide our children from the very early days. This is a must and we shall do it,” he ascertained.
