We call on our young people to shun drug abuse and alcoholism, a vice that continues to destroy the potential of far too many youth across the country.
This challenge demands a whole-of-society response, bringing together parents, religious organisations, communities and Government.
As Government, we are implementing robust measures to confront this destructive vice decisively and conclusively. A joint team, comprising the National Campaign Against Drug Abuse (NACADA) and the Anti-Narcotics Police Unit, is actively pursuing those smuggling drugs into the country, as well as those involved in the production and distribution of illicit alcohol.
We will be working and collaborating closely with the Church and other religious groups, among others, in the fight against this scourge.
