Former President Uhuru Kenyatta's Friday remarks urging the youth to stand up and fight for their rights have sparked political tensions across the divide.
The latest criticism comes from Environment Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale who condemned the remarks. Speaking during the alumni gathering of Garissa High School on Saturday, Duale criticised Uhuru's remarks, describing them as inciteful and undermining the government of President William Ruto. The CS further described the former President's remarks as reckless for a leader of his stature and urged the political class to lead by example for the youth.
Duale maintained that such statements could promote unrest and should not come from a leader of Uhuru's caliber. ''It is very unfortunate if we the leaders, current and former, set the stage where we tell the young people of our nation to commit acts of violence and disobedience.
I think by doing so, we lose the moral high ground,'' Duale stated.
