A "very disappointed" Mr Jimmy L Miramoe notes that the irony of Kakuma Refugee Camp in Turkana is that NGOs, education officials and the Provincial Administration have for years ignored child labour involving minors from the host community. He wonders why refugees are allowed to employ children.
"It is sad that parents have turned their children, who are supposed to be in school, into casual labourers in the refugee camp. The only explanation is that the children are an important source of income for poor families," says Miramoe.
