A section of Catholic clerics have taken issue with the decline in moral standards among children, blaming laws that "overprotect" them.

Speaking during the inauguration and installation of St Aloys-Ojolla Deanery in Kisumu, retired Kisumu Catholic Archbishop Linus Akok said the laws that allow children to sue parents or elders over disciplinary action are misleading.
