SIX million Kenyan children are victims of child labour, United Nations Children’s Fund officer in charge of basic education, child protection and development, Dr Mamadou Bagayoku, said on Tuesday. Speaking from Nyeri, 190km north of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, Bagayoku said Unicef has set aside six million shillings (about $100000) to fight child labour in 13 Kenyan districts over the next five years. She identified poverty as the major cause of child labour. Most of the child labour force work on coffee and tea plantations, in salt mining or prostitution.
