Health stakeholders led by Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa's spouse Janet Kassilly Barasa have challenged county governments to amend laws and allocate budgets to address key community issues such as early pregnancies.

Speaking at Golf Hotel on Thursday during a mentorship programme for 134 teen mothers in Kakamega, Kassilly emphasized the need for more resources to empower vulnerable groups, including teen mothers, women, youth, and widows, to improve their lives.
