NACADA director, Charles Njagua, popularly knows as Jaguar has expressed his displeasure in the board, on how they are handling the drug menace in the country. 

A few days ago, while responding to a story that we did, the popular singer revealed that the board is spending a lot of money holding meetings instead of addressing the real issue that is drug abuse. (Read the article below)

Below is a recent post from Jaguar who has taken shots at the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse for not doing their work.

"Feeling rather disappointed on how the drug menace is being handled countrywide."

"I was in Mombasa over the weekend and was saddened by what I found.

With over 2.6 million drug addicts in Kenya, NACADA officials are very busy holding costly boardroom talks while addicts receive no education and no medical support to get them out of this never ending drug scourge."

"Accompanied by Dr Ngao and Bahati, we also visited Kisauni and found over 200 addicts taking drugs, some even abusing in the presence of children despite the Presidents directive to get these addicts off the streets."

"To add salt to an injury, I discovered an NGO who's name I will withhold for now supplying the addicts with needles purporting to reduce transmission of HIV as opposed to NACADA distributing aid needed to get these addicts out of the mess they are in."

"Truth is, this is a big fight we are in against drugs. If we don't save our youth we will have very little to look forward to in the overall national development agenda we have as a country."

"I can't address this drug menace alone and some of my colleagues in NACADA aren't as forthcoming with the much-needed support in fighting this menace.

I am calling out to all persons and organizations of good will, that you each play a role in your individual/ organizational capacity so we may lead Affected addicts away drugs and back to productivity."

I also propose that we impose very harsh penalties to anyone found peddling drugs and especially to minors who are also part of the 2.6 million addicts we have in our country.
