Nairobi, 05 October, 2023 / 9:49 pm (ACI Africa).
Members of the Kenya Christian Professional Forum (KCPF) have welcomed the approval of the National Policy on family promotion and protection describing it as “a major milestone” for the people of God in the East African nation.
The Tuesday, October 3 Kenya’s Cabinet dispatch announcing the approved reads in part, “In affirmation of the solemn duty of the state to protect the family as the fundamental unit of the society and the necessary basis of social order, the cabinet considered and approved the National Policy on family promotion and protection.”
The policy identifies challenges that affect the family and undertakes to address them by providing guidelines on what the government, partnering with other stakeholders, seeks to do to realize the objectives of the policy.
In a Thursday, October 5 statement, KCPF members say they are "honored" to have been part of the process of the development of the approved policy.
"We were elated to learn that the National Policy on Family Promotion and Protection has been adopted by the Cabinet as official Government Policy," KCPF members say in the statement that their Chairman, Charles Kanjama, signed.
