Addressing hundreds of children and parents at the ceremony on Saturday August 18, 2019, the Minister said children were meant to play and not hold guns on the streets to fight.
Questioning the parents, he asked what will become of their children if they don't go to school. He cited cases of children who give birth at 15, those who are in the bushes and those who have become thieves .
He urged them to fight poor government policies ( if there exist any), corruption, bad administrators through education and not otherwise.
As a yearly event to recognise the efforts his late mother who died 44 years ago, made in sending him to school, Minister Mbayu has every year assembles hundreds of pupils and parents at his Old Town residence to hand over books to children and basic materials to parents.
Insisting on the need for education, the minister says with education, people are more tolerant and uphold principles of mutual respect.
The Minister Delegate concluded that "Education is universal human rights" and those who don't send their children to school are not hurting the president or minister, they are hurting their own child.
