Pile of Books

Kenyans online have been saddened by the news of a parent who allegedly attempted to steal books for the sake of his child.

Unconfirmed reports have revealed that the man was caught with a number of books hidden in his boxers for his child who is joining Form One next week.

The struggle of what  many parents could  be going through just to take their children to school.

Former Kakamega Senator Bonny Khalwale is among those who were quick to respond as he asked for the details of the man.

Others Kenyans online also gave their thoughts with one saying that the father should have at least sold off his coat to afford the books.

We are living in difficult times and many parents still have the challenge of affording the basics let alone buying books for their school going children.

 

Some Kenyans weighed in showing their willingness to help the man out by buying him the books.

Others simply say that the father should not be charged with any crime considering that he did it for the good.

A section of Kenyans however disagree saying that  stealing should not be justified no matter what.

The  reality is that the number of needy students is way more than the bursaries issued by the government and this  is such a big challenge as parents of needy students are caught up in the puzzle.

Earlier today, MP Jaguar gave his remarks as the Form One students are set to join school, urging the school heads to be lenient on students who are not able to raise full fees considering the harsh economic times.

Jaguar says that failure to do  as he suggests, almost 60% of the students will not be able to report. With education being key, more  strategies should be put in place to help needy students.
