I don’t really understand how some people reason. Or maybe God created others without brains so they can be used as bad example.
Take the example of this idiot Administration Police (AP) officer who was arrested with a KCSE candidate in a lodging on Tuesday night.
The incident took place in Kilgoris, Narok County, a region that is known for the high number of teenage pregnancies than anything else.
Patrick Mwendo is said to have booked a room at a local bar where he planned to spend the night with the girl, who was sitting her exams at Sankale Secondary School.
Trans Mara Deputy County Commissioner Mohammed Noor Hassan, confirmed the incident saying the two were nabbed a few moments after they had checked in.
Noor said police have made arrangements to ensure the girl sits er remaining papers as investigations continue.
He added that the owner of the bar risks having his license revoked for allowing a minor at his joint. The officer urged local chiefs to be on high alert and ensure the issue of teenage pregnancies is treated with the seriousness it deserves.
The incident comes at a time when the country is still reeling with the shock of teenage pregnancies. The latest Kenya Demographic Health Survey (KDHS) says Narok County has the highest burden of teenage pregnancies and motherhood in Kenya.
Speaking when she oversaw administration of KCPE papers, Education CS Amina Mohammed said some nine candidates gave birth during the examination period.
“If this is happening all year round, then the country could be facing a crisis,” said Amina, as she instructed regional coordinators of education and county directors of education to collect data.
Several Kenya Certificate of Primary Education and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education candidates delivered before or during the national exams, while others sat the tests while pregnant. The girls who were reported to be pregnant were aged between 13 and 18.
It is now clear why the number of pregnancies continue to soar, it is because the same people who are supposed to protect the sheep are eating them.
