Kenya's President Talks to Elders About Helping Young People.
On Sunday, Kenya's President William Ruto visited a church in Bomet County with an important message for the older people.
Ruto said everyone needs to work together to help young people have good lives. Parents, religious leaders, and politicians all have a part to play.
"We can't just blame each other," Ruto said. "We all have to make sure our children have a bright future. It's up to us."
Ruto thinks young people need good advice and support as they grow up. He wants to keep them away from bad things like drugs and violence.
"We have to think about the next generation," he said. "We should teach them and guide them. We can't let them fall into traps."
Ruto also spoke about this on Saturday. He was in Homa Bay. Many people want him to do something about a big problem in Kenya. Ruto's government has taken some people away, and no one knows where they are.
Ruto hasn't said when these missing people will come home. Many important leaders came to hear Ruto speak at the church on Sunday. Some were governors and lawmakers.
Ruto said again that everyone has to look out for young people. He promised that his government would do its part, but he said parents and religious leaders also need to help.
Ruto is getting a lot of criticism about the missing people. Political leaders, religious leaders, and groups that care about human rights are all speaking up.
A woman named Houghton Irungu works for Amnesty International in Kenya. She said taking people away is against the law. It's called "enforced disappearance."
Irungu said the police aren't really trying to find the missing people. They haven't talked to witnesses or looked for clues.
She thinks this is a big threat to everyone's rights in Kenya. People should be free and safe, get fair trials, and have their lives protected.
Irungu said this goes against the laws of Kenya and the world.
