Youth from Mavoko Sub County have been urged to use their talents to preach peace in Machakos County ahead of the 2017 elections.
This call was made by the Athi River town based Standard Youth Group Organising Secretary Patrick Muteti who said there were many talents in the region which if well utilized would constructively help in ensuring peaceful coexistence among residents.
Speaking to this writer in Athi River town on Thursday, Mr Muteti said there were lots of diverse talents among youth from the region.
He said the youth should either form groups or join already existing ones to help them have their diverse talents nurtured and directed towards a good course.
The youth leader lamented that some of the youth had their talents wasted due to un-exposure arguing no one had identified them since they were living in isolation.
Muteti urged local leaders and both national and county governments to fully engage the youth in civic education.
"The youth talents can be used to mobilize locals and conduct effective civic education on elections and electioneering process," said Muteti.
