An administrative chief from Enamba location in South Mugirango has cautioned parents against exposing their children to manual jobs during this holiday season.
Speaking during a Baraza on Monday at Enamba market, Alloys Oginda said parents have forgotten their role by exposing their children to hard jobs that otherwise may be dangerous to the young ones.
He said the holiday should be used by pupils as humble time to relax besides using it as time to reflect their first term performances in bid to look for strategies that can lead to improvement.
“Parents should act as role models to their children. Nobody should expose his or her child dangerous and in humane tasks over this holiday because that is illegal,” he said.
“This month should be used as humble time for the young ones to reflect on their first term performance and assess their strengths and weaknesses and not what many of you think of letting them do,” he said.
He said provincial administration would closely monitor errant parents and would not hesitate to take stern actions against those who may violate the directive.
“The provincial administration is keenly watching the development in our rural homes this holiday. We will unleash to those who may violate the directive because our work is to enforce government policies,” he added.
