Ongwae underscored the importance of having constructive engagement between the youth and the county government to ensure young people in the county to participate in policy making.
"I am taking the issue of engaging with our young people seriously, that’s why I am inviting their leaders from this county for a one week leadership orientation in my office during which they will be accorded an opportunity of accompanying me while discharging my official functions both in the office and in the field for them to learn from me how the office of the governor functions," said Ongwae.
