Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti has now called for a public participation forum to deliberate the ban of Muguka in the County.
Speaking on Sunday, June 9, Ndeti said that Muguka had affected youth in the County while calling for the Church to help in dealing with the drug menace.
The Governor disclosed that she could not ban Muguka on her own and therefore sought the help of the citizens.
“I’m coming to you (Machakos residents) to carry out a public participation exercise on Muguka, because I cannot ban it on my own. I need to engage you in order to agree on the way forward.
“I am also counting on the help of the church to eradicate the drug menace. That’s why I came up with the idea of Machakos Youth Service where we will train them and rehabilitate those addicted,” she stated.
Governor Ndeti however urged the church to help in instilling the right morals in the youths to help curtail the escalation of drug abuse and other vices.
