Two hundred instructors at youth polytechnics in Kisii county yesterday staged a peaceful demonstration over the government’s failure to employ them on a permanent basis. They said they will close institutions today unless the governor listens to them. But they have never been absorbed by the county governments even after the institutions were put under the devolved units. The tutors started their demonstration from the youth and gender office and marched through Kisii town up to Governor James Ongwae’s office at the Agricultural Training Institute. “We will l close all polytechnics starting today until Ongwae sees the need to address our concerns.”
