The December holiday is here, and ass a norm, families take out the loved ones on vacations to celebrate in style. Most of the families take their families to the Kenyan coast to have a lovely feeling of the beach breeze.

It is the time school children enjoy most while at the beach. The night scenes of the beach makes it look beautiful.

However, children may this time miss those moments of the beach’s night scenes since the government has banned children from accessing beaches past 6pm.

Kwale County commissioner Karuku Ngumo on Wednesday said that children found roaming around the beach past the set time will be punished and their parents prosecuted for neglecting their duties.

He warned parents against leaving their children to roam the beaches at night especially during the festive holidays to avoid criminal incidents involving minors.

“Action will be taken on any child who will be found at the beach during this festive season especially now that we have several artistes from East Africa coming to the country for the holidays,” Ngumo said.

He said security officers will conduct regular patrols in beaches and parents whose children will be found past hours will be charged.

“We don’t want our children to be allowed to walk at night to weddings or to the beach. We want children to remain to be children and we will deal with the parents if we see a child around such places,” he said.

Chama cha Uzalendo chairman Richard Onsongo told parents to ensure their children are kept busy during the festivities.

“We should not be burdened by our children during the holidays and avoid passing the parenting job to teachers,” he said.

But now again, children are very hard human beings to handle. The moment the beach scene will be spotted looking beautiful, they will just find themselves there. Will parents really manage to control children from accessing the beach past 6:00 pm?
