Kirinyaga County Commissioner Shufaa Mwijuma Omar has called on young people to refrain from alcoholism, drug abuse and suicide, while urging churches to intensify efforts to combat sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV).
Speaking in Kerugoya during the flagging off of a peace walk organised by the Evangelical Women Alliance (EWA), Mwijuma said parents and leaders of the county are concerned about the growing number of young people falling into drug and alcohol abuse.
The peace walk, organised by the alliance that brings together female clergy from across Kirinyaga County, aimed to promote peace, social cohesion and moral values within the community and the county.
