A youth caucus from western part of Kenya have lashed out at some of the leaders in the region of being the key stumbling block over development. Led by ODM party secretary general Edwin Sifuna, businessmen Steve Wafula Biko, Alex Matere and lawyer Ruth Ambogo, the youthful professionals said the current crop of leaders in the region have failed to advocate for the rights of the residents and has instead resorted to political rhetoric.
