In an outright reminder of the ongoing battle against drugs and illicit brews, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua urged the national government Administrators and other stake holders to remain vigilant and avoid complacency.
Speaking at the poignant burial service for the former NACADA chief executive officer Victor Okioma in Nyabomo ,Trans Nzoia County , the deputy president warned that any slip in effort could rapidly undo the hard fought progress achieved in this crucial war.
“Let us continue to fight the drugs and illicit as it was before and now importantly, in the memory of Okioma,” said the DP.
“I salute Okioma for his distinguished service to the nation, for his sacrifices for the good of the nation. I salute him for the good work he did at Nacada. He was hardworking man whose excellent work spoke for itself. I appeal to NACADA to uphold the legacy of Okioma,” proceeded the DP.
The DP called on government officers to remain committed to their official duties, assuring them of full support from President William Ruto and the national government.
“I respect the NGAOs for their service to this country. The national administration is an important pillar for any government,” he stated.
