Wednesday, May 29, 2024 - Kwale Governor Fatuma Achani has chosen to 'sacrifice' her people just to impress Mt. Kenya.
This is after she vowed that Kwale County will not initiate
a ban on muguka like Mombasa, Kilifi, and Taita Taveta.
However, she emphasized that the county will put in place
proper regulations for its use.
Taita Taveta, Kilifi, and Mombasa imposed bans on muguka,
citing that the substance caused more harm than good.
“As the leadership of this county, we join the rest in fighting the misuse of muguka. Of course, we will not ban the use of muguka because of legal issues.
However, we are also
following the stipulated legalities to ensure that the use of muguka is
regulated,” she commented.
Similarly, she went ahead to reiterate that Kwale County
residents should be wary of the health effects that come with consuming muguka.
“I urge everyone, including those consuming muguka,
hard drugs and alcohol that it’s everyone's personal initiative to take good
care of their health,” she added.
The issue of the muguka ban made Mt. Kenya
leaders hot under the collar, with the residents of Embu, led by their Governor
Cecily Mbarire seeking Ruto’s help and swearing to challenge the matter in
court, which has since suspended the ban until the case is hard and determined.
After a meeting with Ruto at State House on Monday,
Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi declared the bans effected by the
3 counties “null and void.”
