The war against the prevalent use of drugs and alcohol in Murang’a County and the larger Central region is set to be intensified as part of efforts to protect and safeguard diverse sporting talents among the youth.
The Principal Secretary for Sports, Elijah Mwangi, says substance abuse in the county poses a major threat to the development of talent and initiatives promoting the growth of sports among young people.
He was speaking at Ihura Stadium in Murang’a County during the launch of the inaugural Great Murang’a Community Run, an event that brought together over 2,000 athletes drawn from schools, institutions, agencies, and local communities.
