Youth leaders from North Rift region have warned Kanu chairman Gideon Moi against disrespecting the Deputy President William Ruto.
Led by lawyer Kiprotich Cherargei, they accused him of going against the wishes of the Kalenjin community.
“His open hostility, disrespect and insults towards DP Ruto is very unfortunate," he said, Thursday.
"Why has he decided to go against the wishes of the Kalenjin community whilst the same community stood up for his father for 24 years as Kenya’s second president,'' he added.
The leaders hit out at the Baringo senator and accused him of failing to solve insecurity and poverty in his County.
“Gideon is a beneficiary of his father's benevolence in terms of the surname and wealth but as Kalenjin youth we shall not sit back and allow the clueless Baringo senator to insult, demean or disrespect our beloved Deputy president,'' he warned.
