A group of youth who were demonstrating in support of former Roads CS Kipchumba Murkomen in Eldoret were blocked by police on the Wednesday incident.

The youth were moving with placards along Kisumu Road heading to the CBD before being stopped by the police.

Police led by area OCPD Edward Masibo ordered the youth to turn back saying they had not been notified about the demos as required.

However, leaders of the youth were allowed to address a brief meeting before dispersing.

William Cherais, a leader of the youth, said they were fully in support of Murkomen’s re-appointment to the Cabinet.

“We urge the President to re-appoint Murkomen to the Cabinet because he had done a good job,” said Cherais.

The youth supported President William Ruto over his claim that the countrywide youth protests were being sponsored by some international organisations

The group dispersed withot entering the town after few of the participants made remarks.

This comes a few days after a section of youth cut a cake in the town to celebrate his dismissal from Cabinet
