Antinarcotics campaigner Gladys Chania has revealed that children as young as 10 years are smuggling bhang and cocaine in schools.
According to Chania, the situation is worsened by the fact that underage children cannot be put in rehabilitation centres.
"We are having a problem when we have addictions on underage because we can not put them in the rehab centres together with the adults. NACADA should step in and provide solutions for the underage addicts," she said.
She was speaking during the 2017 International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking at Ndumberi grounds in Kiambu town on Monday.
Chania, a child and adult psychologist said the education sector should have a requirement for drug testing.
"Can we have a rule or a requirement in the education sector whereby a requirement of drug testing should be there when the children have done their class eight to form one. This will ensure that we do not transit the problem," Chania said.
