The Spouse of Deputy President Pastor Dorcas Rigathi has told drug barons, dealers and people selling illicit brews that their days are numbered.
Speaking at SOT Technical Institute in Bomet, Dorcas said people destroying the lives of children by selling them drugs and killer brews must stop.
“Those who sell poison to you are trying to make money. How I pray that you make them poor. And we are serving them notice. Any person who sells those poisons is a murderer,” she told students of the institute.
“They can do better businesses. We cannot sit and watch people sell poisons to our children, kill other people’s children, and we watch as a generation perish.”
Dorcas has been on a tour of Bomet County where she opened the Bomet Treatments and Rehabilitation Centre at Koiwa Hospital and received the first cohort of 100 addicts who have volunteered to be rehabilitated.
On November 28, 2023, Pastor Dorcas revealed plans to partner with medical facilities under national and county governments to dedicate a ward to the rehabilitation of drug and alcohol addicts.
She noted that even with the combined number of both public and private rehabilitation centres, the country cannot still accommodate the high number seeking treatment for drug and alcohol addiction.
“We intend to pursue the Ministry of Health in national and county government hospitals to be able to open a ward in their facilities where we can rehabilitate the youths,” Dorcas said when she officially opened the Ihururu Rehabilitation and Treatment Centre in Tetu in Nyeri.
The 90-bed capacity facility opened its doors in September this year.
The centre is the only public facility in the county that is offering treatment for drug and alcohol addiction for Sh20,000 per month.
Pastor Dorcas further revealed that her office will also be seeking a collaboration with the national health insurer to extend its coverage to rehabilitation and treatment for drug and alcohol addiction.
