A section of University leaders from Mt Kenya region have said that the ongoing wars between the Executive and lawmakers witnessed recently in the country will derail development.
The leaders who were referring to the war of words among a section of Mount Kenya leaders over calls by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to unify the region said that it could put the country in an unnecessary electioneering mood.
At the same time, they expressed fury that the intensified squabbling paints an unpleasant image leaving the youth at the risk of loathing politics which are key for the development of a country.
Speaking during a Central Students’ Association Leadership Summit in Thika, Kiambu County, the young leaders expressed fears that the sustained public spats have been exposing them to abusive language, aggression and bitterness among leaders who undertook to work together to improve the livelihoods of Kenyans.
They urged politicians to stop flexing their muscles and instead train their focus on service delivery to the citizenry.
