Home Affairs Minister, Stephen Kampyongo has warned that government will not tolerate parents marrying-off their girl child at the expense of education.

 Speaking at different meetings during his recent tour of his constituency; Mr. Kampyongo, who is also Shiwang’andu Member of Parliament, notes that education is the best equalizer as it opens doors of opportunity for every person.

 He told the gatherings that it is against this background that government will not hesitate to arrest parents found wanting.

Mr. Kampyongo stresses that on the contrary parents ought to invest in the girl child’s education, saying doing so has more benefits than marrying them off.

Meanwhile, the minister has advised pupils that despite their current economic status, they must aim at being successful so that they too can contribute to the country’s economic growth.
