Kenyan Advocate Highlights Severe Penalties for Teacher-Student Sexual Relationships

A Kenyan legal expert, Peter Wasaga, recently appeared on TV47's Morning Cafe to discuss the serious legal repercussions faced by teachers engaging in sexual relationships with underage students. Wasaga, an Advocate of the High Court, stated unequivocally, "A teacher who has sexual intercourse with a student under 18 years, whether or not there is consent, will be punished. This is a criminal offense." His comments highlight the severity of the issue and the need for stronger protective measures. The discussion also touched upon the roles of schools and parents in ensuring student safety. While the law provides clear consequences for teachers, the video also raises questions about the responsibilities of school administration and parents in preventing such incidents and ensuring a safe learning environment for all children. The segment underscores the importance of open communication and proactive measures to protect children from harm.
