The director of Commonwealth Boxing Council Reuben Ndolo has called on the youth to embrace sports to keep away from drugs.
Ndolo, a former Makadara MP, was among hundreds of youth and leaders, who took part in Community aerobics at Uhuru Estate, Nairobi, on Saturday said sport is a major opportunity for Kenyan youth to overcome the temptation to do drugs.
“Today’s Zoezi Mtaani initiative is a special edition for it has coincided with the International Women’s day. Women play a huge part in the lives of young people and that is why it is important to have them as part and parcel of this event,” Ndolo said after the two-hour exercise at Uhuru Estate community ground attended by among others Embakasi West MP George Theuri and wife of Nairobi Governor Gideon Sonko.
“My advise to young people is hard work pays both in school and in sport. We have to also lead healthy lives through exercising that is why we have started the Zoezi Mtaani aerobics every Saturday morning,” Ndolo said.
The weekly exercise started at Kaloleni and has since gone to Eastleigh, Maringo Estate and Uhuru Estate on Saturday.
