Environment Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has slammed former President Uhuru Kenyatta after he recently asked the young people to stand up for their rights.
Speaking on Saturday, January 18, Duale claimed that Uhuru's remarks were inciteful and asked leaders to take moral responsibility while addressing the young generation.
The CS asked the former president not to incite the young people to violence, adding that it was unfortunate for leaders to set the stage for acts of disobedience.
''It is very unfortunate if we the leaders, current and former, set the stage where we tell the young people of our nation to commit acts of violence and disobedience. I think we will lose the moral high ground.
"When you stand before our young people, you have moral a responsibility. All leaders are parents and you had an opportunity to lead the country. Do not encourage young people to encourage violence. Encourage them to keep the peace and stability of our country,” Duale remarked.

His remarks came a day after Uhuru asked the young people not to allow anyone to take away what they have worked for.
Speaking during the memorial of Kibathi Muigai on Friday, January 17, the former head of state told the people to boldly fight for their rights.
"The Gen Zs are the story of the future; fight for your rights, don't just stay there while people are taking away what's yours. Don't allow anyone to take away what's yours, you have worked for it, so make sure you keep what's yours.
"Everything is worth fighting for, if it's taken away let no one complain. Stand for what's yours. We are behind you," Uhuru remarked.
