Nominated Senator Hamida Kibwana has raised concern over the increasing number of missing children cases across Kenya.
Kibwana warned that the trend has exposed serious gaps in child protection systems and left many families living in anguish as they search for their loved ones.
Speaking in the Senate, Kibwana said the country has witnessed a disturbing rise in child disappearances in recent years, with some cases ending in tragedy while many others remain unresolved.
