Mututho spoke in Nakuru on Saturday when he joined staff from the Centre for enhancing Democracy and Good Governance (CEDGG) and Nakuru youths during a training on governance.
According to CEDGG, the meeting at Rasul Academy in collaboration with Free Area Resident Association Network Nakuru, aimed at encouraging youths to actively participate in governance at national and county levels.
This would be achieved through public participation.
