The Government recognizes the vital role played by dedicated individuals who volunteer their time to mentor young people in the country, Deputy President William Ruto has said.
The Deputy President said more mentorship programmes should be carried out in schools to address increasing cases of student unrests.
Mr Ruto said it is through mentorship programmes that the core values of discipline, hard work and dignity among the youth can be restored.
“Cases of students burning schools' dormitories because of indiscipline needs mentoring programmes so that they can know what is good and bad for the society,” said Mr Ruto.
Addressing a team of Kubamba- a gospel television crew at his Karen office on Tuesday, Ruto said mentorship programmes could go a long way in helping restore good moral values among the youth.
