Nzioka Waita Urges Parents to Guide Children in Productive Activities Over Long Holiday, Calls for National Peace

As schools close for the long holiday season amid ongoing rainy weather, former Machakos gubernatorial aspirant Nzioka Waita has called on parents to keep their children engaged in constructive activities, encouraging strong moral guidance to prevent youths from engaging in undesirable behaviors.

In a statement through RADA TV, Waita highlighted the need for children to stay close to their families during the break, emphasizing that parents are pivotal in shaping positive values. He urged parents to actively involve their children in meaningful tasks, whether it be helping with household chores, participating in community work, or engaging in educational projects. According to Waita, constructive engagement not only occupies children's time but also instills discipline and responsibility.

"Children are greatly influenced by the environment around them, and during these long holidays, parents should take up the role of mentors, providing the necessary moral support and guidance," he said. Waita also reminded young people of the importance of showing respect to their parents, stating that honoring elders is a channel for attracting blessings and building a foundation for a successful future.

Beyond family life, Waita took the opportunity to appeal for peace and unity in the country, urging families to foster love and harmony within their homes as a stepping stone for a stable and prosperous nation.

"The country needs peace, now more than ever, and it begins with each of us in our homes," he remarked. "Let us build strong families and communities as we move towards a future of hope and stability."

Waita’s message resonates with many families as they navigate this holiday season, reminding parents and children alike of the importance of family bonds, respect, and societal responsibility.
