NYERI: Youth and Gender CS Sicily Kariuki has warned youth in Nyeri against electing the wrong president amid fears of voter apathy in Mt Kenya region, an area perceived to be a Jubilee stronghold.

Ms Kariuki asked youth to register as voters and take part in voting for the country's next crop of leaders even as reports point to a region less enthusiastic about the 2017 polls.
