Monday, June 3, 2024 - Defence Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has mocked members of the Kikuyu community after Mandera and Marsabit counties banned Muguka.
Muguka is an addictive crop grown in some Mt Kenya counties like Embu and Meru and according to Mandera and
Marsabit counties, it had been banned because it is a drug.
And in what is seen as mocking
Kikuyus, Duale, who celebrated the ban, called on Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua
to champion the fight against Muguka amid a heightened move to ban its sale and
consumption.
Speaking in Eastleigh during the
opening of a business centre, Duale noted that Gachagua has led an effective
fight against the consumption of illicit alcohol and drugs, and his input on
taming the consumption of Muguka is needed.
"If we are fighting alcohol
in Central Kenya, Rift Valley, and every part of Kenya we must also fight
Muguka," said Duale.
"I will ask the Deputy
President in the next two weeks to call [for] that conference because he is the
Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya and we candidly discuss the effects
of Muguka on certain regions and communities.
Gachagua is yet to speak on the
Muguka ban.
