President Uhuru Kenyatta has today advised Kenyan youths to stay alert lest they be taken for a ride by some politicians angling for seats in 2022.
The President, who was speaking in Nakuru county as he conferred Nakuru town with city status, told youths that leadership is not determined by age as they have been made to believe.
"To the youths, I respectfully urge you to brainstorm and avoid rush decisions. Making rush decisions will only land you in a ditch. They will tell you that someone is not fit for some position because he his old.

Nakuru now joins the list of Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa as the four cities in the country.
