FORCED MARRIAGE

My name is Kennedy Makani. I work as a volunteer children's officer in Kakamega Central district. this year has turned to be my most vibrant in my whole course of service. In the month of March I rescued a forced marriage between a school under-age girl of 14 and an old man. Due to poverty, the girl's family had opted to let this girl marry-off to the old man of 60. I took up the case and worked hard with the law enforcement authorities and had both the old man and the parents of the girls locked up to face the law.
