Baringo Woman Representative Gladwell Cheruiyot has said that the youths are suffering because of corruption.
In a video shared by Nation on Twitter, Tuesday, Cheruiyot said that the youths are grieving because of unemployment and lack money due to runaway corruption.
"Youths are suffering because they lack jobs, money and alternative ways of how they can pursue their lives because of corruption. (Vijana wanaumia kwa sababu hawana fedha, vijana wanaumia kwa sababu hawana jinsi ya ambavyo watajitegemea maishani na ni kwa sababu ya ufisadi)," she said in part of the video.
The Woman Rep further noted that as politicians, they cannot remain silent while money collected by the government through tax paid by common mwananchi ends up in the pockets of a few individuals.
She said graft must be stopped by all means.
"We're making money by paying taxes but there are some people waiting to put into their pockets. We are saying this vice must end. (Tunatengeneza pesa tunalipa taxes lakini kuna watu wanangojea pale ili waweke mifuko zao,na tunasema hii tabia ikome)," the legislator insisted.
