Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo issued stern warnings against youth involvement in political violence across Homa Bay County. The announcement followed recent clashes at a function he attended in Ndhiwa.
Speaking at an empowerment program at Sasi Primary School, Omollo pledged decisive action against both perpetrators and those who sponsor violence. He emphasized education as the path for youth to contribute meaningfully to their communities rather than resort to violence.
The Principal Secretary expressed particular concern about young people carrying knives and engaging in violent acts over political disagreements. He stressed that his office would enforce legal consequences for anyone participating in unlawful activities.
Omollo urged the youth to embrace peaceful methods for addressing political differences. He expanded his focus to education access, calling on leaders to provide financial assistance for students who missed university qualifications but could attend technical colleges.
"Leaders must pull together to ensure that these students are supported financially to gain admission to technical colleges and other institutions," Omollo said, highlighting the needs of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The Principal Secretary concluded by encouraging families to register for the new health scheme to access its benefits, reinforcing his commitment to community development through peaceful means.
