Leaders' aversion to change is the fuel of growing youth discontent

Luhya leaders have an uncanny ability to say, or do the darnedest things. Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya showed up in Vihiga County in the last week of September where Maragoli and Tiriki elders crowned him the Luhya spokesman and guardian of the spirit called ‘Luhya unity’. 

Natembeya has been on the cases of Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula for a while now, often berating them for their inability to stand up for the Luhya nation.
