Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Wednesday hosted 8,000 youth at his Iruri home for Christmas celebrations, where he asked young people in Mt Kenya to shun the Mungiki sect and alcoholism.
Gachagua said that the government will not allow the sect to rear its ugly head again since it has good plans for the youths.
“I want to urge you to shun this sect we have seen their leader being propped by some politicians and getting some airtime in some media houses, however we will not allow our people to be taken back to old dark days of terror from this group,” the DP said, and told Kenyan youth that the Kenya kwanza administration has lined several jobs for them.
“As a government we urge you to be patient we have put in place structures that will create jobs for you in the country and abroad so do not br mislead to join illegal groups,” he said.
He thanked youths for shunning illicit brews saying that this has led to increase in births in the region.
“I want to thank you for avoiding illicit brews we are seeing considerable increase in number of births in this region infact walking around this area one can spot young ones on the roads ,before one could hardly spot a toddler since most of you spent their nights in trenches due to drunkenness,” said Gachagua.
