to shun being lured into violence by selfish politicians.

youth association chairman John Ndonga on his part said there was need for politicians
to empower the youths instead of luring them into violence.

campaigns when we have two years to the
general election.

to play responsible politics and parents
must monitor the whereabout their children at all time,” said Kigochi.
