eying for the presidency go crazy with
each trying all means to secure them.
In the past three days,
Presidential candidates have descended the region with a bang looking for
avenues to consolidate them in their favour.

them with wheelbarrows instead of empowering them.

be keen in establishing vibrant youth programmes that will empower the young
ones and stop the exploitation by the rivals
who have no agenda,” said Odinga who was backed by parliamentarians from the mountain region led by Gatanga MP
