Recent case of man killing his wife and children in Murang’a is disturbing

Cases of child abuse are on the increase in Kenya and the worst part is that children are attacked by close relatives, including their parents and teachers, with whom they spent most of their time in school. The recent case where a man killed his wife and children in Murang’a is disturbing.

These abuses, coupled with other forms of domestic violence, are signs of moral decay in our society where parents are no longer playing the role of being role models to their children. Instead, fathers are defiling their own children. Perhaps Parliament should come up with even stricter laws to protect children.
