Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary has appealed to Uasin Gishu Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) to join hands with the government in tackling drug and alcohol abuse while at the same time promoting peace and social cohesion.
Murkomen was speaking durng a consultative meeting with Uasin Gishu County MCAs led by the Speaker at Nairobi.
The CS observed that MCAs are a critical link in the delivery of services to the communities and beyond their constitutional mandate of representation, legislation and oversight. So, their close contact with the people gives them precious insights into the development needs and priorities of the people at the grassroots level.
He urged the ward representatives to join hands with the Government in the war against drugs and alcohol which is the biggest problem of our communities.
Murkomen also urged the leaders to seize the opportunity they’ve been given to serve the public to create a legacy through championing the lives of the ones they serve.
The CS reiterated the need for continued partnership between the national and county governments in finding solutions to social problems and enhancing harmony among community members.
