Speaking during her visit to the
families of the victims, Dorcas, who was accompanied by church leaders from
different churches, highlighted the need for immediate intervention in the
issue of drug and substance abuse.
"Many of you have seen me struggling with issues of alcohol and drug abuse, and how we've been talking about the potential harm it can cause.
"So, we've come together as a church and
we're saying we won't keep quiet anymore; we'll speak up about this issue and
we'll help our youth," she said passionately.
The Second Lady expressed her
frustration with the lack of effective measures against those responsible for
selling the deadly concoctions, noting that they are given multiple chances to
keep killing people
"People are not goats or cows, cats or dogs; people are dying like this.
"Someone is taken to court six times and released only to come back and kill people.
"They're given another
chance to kill others, twenty-three have died, and five others are blind,"
she lamented.
As a result, she incited Kikuyu
women to disregard the police and take the law into their own hands.
"If the law and the
government fail, we as women will close those bars," she stated.
