Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has appealed to Kenya\u2019s youth to be careful not to thrust the country down the path of destruction in their push for better governance.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we reform, as we put corrective measures in place, going forward, our key anchor must be peace and stability so that that environment can be conducive for everybody to go about their activity,\u201d he said<\/p>\n
Mudavadi expressed concern that if the events of the last month characterized by violent protests continue, the country\u2019s political and economic situation might be jeopardized.<\/p>\n
He gave an example of the situation in some of the neighboring countries and urged the youth to, over and above everything, ensure Kenya does not degenerate into chaos.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you are a young person today, say 18 or 20 (years old), and your country is thrown into turmoil and does not recover for the next 40 years, tell me where you will be,\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is easy to take it for granted, but I can tell you there is no peace in Sudan today, they are scattered, 23-25 million are in a serious humanitarian crisis and total hunger. 10 million have been displaced,\u201d he said<\/p>\n
According to Mudavadi, rebuilding a country in ruin can take many years and sometimes recovery may not be possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn some of our neighboring countries so let\u2019s not take our peace and stability for granted. Let us take corrective measures but not undermine the peace and stability. The countries that have suffered have taken up to 40 years to start showing signs of recovery, Somalia went to chaos (in 1990) and it is now that they are showing a little bit of recovery,\u201d said the Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Cabinet Secretary<\/p>\n
At the same time, Mudavadi noted that actions by the country\u2019s youth can easily undermine their reputation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to appeal to our young people, as they speak to us on other aspects of economy and governance in the country, I also appeal to them not to undermine the credentials of a disciplined youth that emerges from Kenya,\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us not undermine our credentials. We have achieved something, through our young people as being disciplined and focused. Let\u2019s make sure that specific strength or attributes is not undermined by our actions that do not reflect discipline as we go forward. It could have an impact on the opportunities we are providing both outside and even internally, we must not scare potential industrialists on the ability and character of our young people,\u201d he reiterated<\/p>\n
