Keep off alcohol, drugs, youth told

Four members of the county assembly have told the youth to keep of drugs and direct their energy towards sporting activities.

MCAs Kinuthia Mburuti (Komothai), Karungo wa Thang'wa (Ngewa), Paul Kimani (Kamburu) and Peter Muhu (Kamwangi) called on the youth to shun the vice.

They said if proper measures are not put in place, Central may soon start experiencing a serious labour shortage or lose its residents to extinction as happened to the Native Americans in the US.

They were speaking on Sunday in Komothai where Mr Mburuti had organised a football tournament.
