President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged the youth to enlist as voters in large numbers, saying their vote will shape the country’s future. President Kenyatta said young people – who constitute the largest percentage of the Kenyan population – have the ability to determine the quality of leaders the country will have if they register as voters and participate in the coming general election. Consequently, you will be used and dumped by politicians because you will not have the power to influence political decisions through the ballot,” President Kenyatta said. “Lies, tribalism, hatred and divisive politics will not help the country achieve its development targets,” President Kenyatta said. “Stop playing politics with projects that are implemented by the Government to transform the lives of Kenyans,” President Kenyatta told the Opposition.
