Youths have been urged to guard against being misused by politicians to wreck havoc in the country.

Head of Catholic Church in Kenya John Cardinal Njue says no Kenyan is self sufficient hence there is need for them to shun actions geared towards dividing them along ethnic lines.

Presiding over a sacrament of confirmation ceremony at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Juja, Cardinal Njue appealed to the young people not to be coerced into engaging in acts of lawlessness.

Njue said going out into the streets and destroying property could never be a way of solving the political standoff currently facing the country.

He called upon the two political sides to come together and resolve the crisis through dialogue.

He further appealed to Kenyans not to engage in revenge missions saying such a move could only worsen things.

He instead urged Kenyans to forgive each other and live in harmony as they used to before the December 27 polls.

Njue called upon all Kenyans irrespective of their religious affiliations to pray for resumption of peace in the country.
