Mt Kenya youth perceived to be behind anti BBI campaigns have made an about turn, abandoning Deputy President William Ruto’s Camp.
More than 100 youth who were at the centre of the anti constitutional amendments reforms spearheaded by the deputy president in the past four days have moved in the interior parts of the region holding civic education forums.
The youth defected after they were taken through the civic education in a forum convened by Principal Secretary Interior and National Coordination Eng Karanja Kibicho and Ndaragwa MP Jeremiah Kioni.
Led by Joseph Chege the youth over the weekend have taken command in Mt Kenya region where Ruto campaigns in Isiolo and Ol Kalau towns met strong opposition, by youth chanting pro BBI slogans.

Chege said the youth leaders felt satisfied with the contents of the proposed reforms, as they differentiated with the succession politics played by politicians out to achieve their political interests.
After the BBI civic education at Thika Greens last week, the leaders got facts that enabled them to realize the way forward. “ The youth have the opportunity to thrive as the document has spelled out their future, “ said Chege adding that they will join other leaders to popularize the document during the public participation forums.
But we shall not entertain nonsense by those opposing the document, said the youth.
