Riabai location Chief Francis Migunda has lamented over the increased number of youths who have indulged themselves in drugs and alcohol
Speaking from his office on Thursday, the chief said that they have started a crackdown to arrest all the idle youths in the area, saying they will start compromising the security of the area
He went ahead to warn all those selling the drugs in the area to stop at once, as their days are numbered.
He said that area leaders have initiated many projects in the area, which the youth should seek for employment but have become lazy
“Indulgence in drugs will help no one or add any value to the drug users. The youths should shun the practice and instead embrace education, now in this area we have a lot of projects going on and instead of the youths seeking employment from those areas they are busy smoking and drinking illicit brews. We have put them on notice and we have started arresting them” said the chief.
Migunda, who warned that anyone found drunk and breaching peace would be arrested and charged, also regretted that young people in their prime and productive age were engaging in drugs, which would impact negatively on them.
