Counties like Nakuru (5,377), Kakamega (4,171), and Bungoma (3,712) also reflect significant incidences of child abuse. The widespread nature of this issue calls for urgent interventions to protect children and hold perpetrators accountable.
The National Council on the Administration of Justice underscores the need for collaborative action, focusing on community education, legal enforcement, and support for affected children.
