Reports of the county governments of Mombasa and Uasin Gishu arresting streets children to 'clean' or 'clear' their metropolises are shocking.
The Uasin Gishu governor went further and took the children to Busia, Kakamega and Bungoma in Western region, "where they had come from" obviously based on their ethnicity. Hopefully, the National Cohesion and Integration Commission, whose stated mission is to develop and sustain processes that alleviate all forms of ethnic discrimination and promote diversity through knowledge creation, capacity building, advocacy and pertinent policy development, will intervene on behalf of the innocent children banished from Uasin Gishu by its intolerant local government.
