Government to use technology to deal with violent youth
    The Kenyan government has developed a plan to use technology to  tackle the problem of recruitment of young people into the illegal  Mungiki sect.
    The sect members paralyzed the public transport system in Kenya from  April 14 to 17, demanding the release of their jailed leader, Maina  Njenga.
    The sect recruits young men who do not make it to high school. The  youths recruited into the violent movement are usually considered  societal rejects because they cannot get employment apart from manual  jobs. The sect recruits them and provides daily stipends.
