Addressing students from Pembroke House School who visited him at State House, Nairobi, President Kenyatta emphasised the need for the youth to cultivate values that will bring out their leadership potential early in life.

President Kenyatta also commended the role of teachers in moulding the youth and laying a firm foundation for the country’s future.
