PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY KENYA

Did you know that an order for extension of parental responsibility, in regards to payment of fees, can be issued to a person who has attained the age of 18 years where the training/school he has enrolled for has not ended, the High Court in Civil Appeal 34 of 2017 stated in summary that despite a person attaining the age of majority which is 18 years and at that time has neither completed his education nor gotten gainful employment then the parents having set high standards for their children, have a responsibility to promote their social progress and better standards of life for them especially children who are willing and who are self-driven .It is against the child’s right to education for a parent to discontinue their education prematurely on account of them being adults.
