Kisii County leaders and politicians have been challenged to stop misusing youths by funding them to disrupt meetings and funerals.
According to Nominated Member of County Assembly Kefah Onsongo Manyura, who represents people living with disabilities, it is wrong for politicians to misuse the youths by funding them to disrupt meetings which have been organized by their opponents.
Addressing residents on Sunday during a fund-drive that was organized by ‘Obomo bwo omogusii' Unity at Nyangweta, Manyura accused leaders of giving youths handouts instead of employing them.
‘I call upon leaders and politicians who are out giving handouts to our youths to shun it, instead they should be giving them jobs,” he said.
“If you don’t have anything you can talk in forums it is better to skip them rather than sending goons to disrupt meetings and funerals, let us respect the funerals since it is a family matter not a political rally,” added Manyura
To the youths, he challenged them to stop being misused but instead ask the politicians who are giving them handouts to employ them.
