He urged the private sector to collaborate with the government to create awareness on responsible internet use.
“We need to empower teachers and parents with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively guide children on the use of the internet ,” Mucheru said.
He spoke on Wednesday during the launch of Airtel’s free internet for schools programme at Machakos Boys High School.
