A youth group in Kisumu has petitioned Governor Jack Ranguma to organise for sensitisation problems aimed at empowering the youth and women in the society.
The group, calling itself Manyatta Youth Bunge, told our reporter that such sensitisation programmes will enable the youth to stop idling and find better ways of creating self-employment.
They also argued that the women should be enlightened on the importance of dressing decently as this could lead to a morally upright society.
Through their chairman, Benson Onoka, they petitioned the county leaders to help push for such programmes.
“The county government should organise for sensitisation programmes aimed at empowering our youth as they are wasting themselves in careless drinking and other crimes,” said Onoka.
Idleness is also making them to get involved in activities such as stripping ‘indecently’ dressed women in public and that is why we are asking Ranguma to help sensitise our women on why they should dress decently.”
The group also asked the MCAs to draft a bill aimed at defining the right dressing and probably measures to be taken against those who go against the law.
“Decent dressing improves the morality in our society and that is why it is high time our women realised that we need to eradicate the high moral decadence in the society today.”
