Serikali Saidia! K24’s Jamila Mbugua Publicly Invokes Government Intervention

Thought the whining lady devastated by perennial floods in Nyando plain was the only one loud enough when appealing for government’s help??

Serikali this, serikali that… The song has reverberating across the country long enough to cause disturbance in anyone’s ears.

But some calls are legit and shouldn’t be ignored. Jamila Mbugua is raising the alarm following zombification of youths at the coast.

The news anchor is concerned with the rising incidents of youth falling victims to drug addiction which has long been a chronic disease in coast province.

She says the government hasn’t been serious with its efforts to curb the menace and rehabilitate youth who turned their backs on the slow-killing pleasure.

“More youth turning into zombies from drug addiction. My concern is, why can’t the Government put up proper rehab centers and offer subsidized services since they have failed in controlling the trade. How do you have a rehab with the capacity of only 3 people? Better still create job opportunities for the idle youth? Mombasa has lots of potential, from farming to fishing.”

Her comment followed NTV’s piece on drug addiction in Mombasa. Watch the clip below:
