Christopher Kariuki, 15, and Peter Mbothu,21, will be the last to die in Mount Kenya region due to heartless political anarchy, elders from the Gema communities have declared. The elders included the Kikuyu Council of elders, Kiama Kia Ma, Njuri Ncheke elders, the Embu council of elders and elders from other communities took part in the service. Led by Kikuyu Council of Elders chairman Kigoci Waimeri, the elders said the mayhem that led to the deaths of the two youths was organised by politicians who care about no one but themselves. "This is the last time our children shed blood or lose lives for some people to gain politically or to get political seats. No parent gave birth for their children to be killed in political wars,” the elder said.
