Nipped in the bud 

Kerinyaga district featured in the news when its young men who had organized themselves into vigilante groups to ensure there was enough security, were butchered by Mungiki adherents one night. The latter were retaliating for apparent loss of their members. The police arrived too late as the attack had been well organized. Most of the young men who had formed the vigilante groups were barely 30 years. Their lives had been nipped in the bud. A sad story indeed.
