In the statement read by Muriithi on the former Prime Minister\u2019s two-day visits of the region, the governors said they discussed among others; expanding local economic opportunities, growth of the economy supported by sound institutions; including cushioning SMEs.<\/p>\n

They also discussed youth empowerment strategies and security, especially respect for life and property.<\/p>\n

On his part, Raila said this was part of a national dialogue he has been engaging in, to be able to identify the problems affecting different parts of the country and come up with policies to address the issues.<\/p>\n

During his two visit in Laikipia, the ODM leader met representatives of different groups of people including; political leaders, youth representatives, student representatives, SME sector stakeholders and church leaders.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Raila met the Convention of All Israel Churches of Kenya in Gilgil and later on met youths from the Mt Kenya region in Nanyuki.<\/p>\n
