Two men from Nairobi have been charged with the offense of neglecting their duty to safeguard a child from the consumption of alcohol, as outlined in section 16 in conjunction with section 20 of the Children’s Act of 2001.
The charges stem from allegations that they provided alcoholic beverages to a 12-year-old son of their acquaintance.
The two, Michael Imbura and Lewis Gachago are accused of failing to prevent the minor from drinking vodka at their house in Saika Estate, Njiru sub-county in Nairobi, on August 2.
The two are accused of committing the offense jointly with others, including the employer of the minor’s mother, who owns the house.
