He spoke as the country witnessed a series of violent protests on Tuesday in most parts of the country including the four cities of Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru. “What began as peaceful protests turned violent, leading to loss of lives, injuries and destruction of public and private property. “The Government acknowledges that the youth have a long-drawn stake in the future of our beloved country,” he said.
