Moroto municipality mayor Ismael Mohamed has expressed concerns over the increasing number of street children especially in camp Swahili and the town center, saying this could be the reason for increased insecurity cases within the municipality.

Mohamed blamed parents who he says are just watching their children on the street yet they can do much to address the challenge.

He however assured the public that the council is willing and determined to address the challenge.
