Education Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi has challenged parents to take full responsibility in instilling discipline and nurturing their children.

Prof Kaimenyi said most parents, especially fathers, had failed to counsel their children resulting in immoral behaviour like was recently witnessed in Kirinyaga when students going home for August holidays were caught with alcohol, drugs and engaging in sex on a bus last week.
