This is a list of magistrate courts with the highest cases of Juvenile offenders in Kenya in 2018. As the government works tirelessly to put into effect the “Big Four Agenda” and other long-term development objectives for Kenya such as Vision 2030, many organisations as well as concerned individuals have raised perturbations over the ballooning population of young Kenyans in correctional centres which they think should be given a top priority too by the government since if the Big Four Agendas are realized and most youths are locked up, then it won’t be worthwhile as they say.
Most juveniles engage in crimes because of poverty, peer pressure, lack of education, drug abuse and general erosion of values or morals or because of neglect by their parents or guardians. Well here is a list of magistrate courts across Kenya with the highest cases of Juvenile Offenders
