The Myoot Kipsigis Council of Elders has sent a clarion call for peace, integrity and respect for authority, urging Kericho's young people to shun lawlessness and guard the values that have long anchored their community.
In an interview with KNA shortly after the meeting, Council Chairman Richard Ngeno emphasised that the foundation of any peaceful and progressive society lies in the respect accorded to its institutions and leadership.
Addressing youth drawn from across Kericho County during a well-attended empowerment forum held at the ACK Grace Conference Hall in Kericho, Ngeno said young people must be taught to honour the presidency, respect the church, listen to elders, and uphold the authority of elected leaders regardless of political differences.
He noted that when citizens, especially the youth, embrace discipline, moral integrity and respect for those in leadership, the result is a cohesive society anchored on order, dialogue and shared responsibility.
