Second Lady Pastor Dorcas Rigathi has called on Kenyans to stay sober during the festive seasons.
Pastor Dorcas in her festive season’s greetings to Kenyans cautioned drivers against driving while drunk.
“I want you to remain sober so that we can have a productive and prosperous nation," the second lady said.
Pastor Dorcas has been fighting drugs and substance abuse in the country as part of her agenda in rescuing the boy-child.
“I want you to celebrate alive, as I have always been saying I want you to celebrate the way you want. I want you to celebrate sober," Pastor Dorcas added.
She noted that many people have been maimed through road carnages, something she says should not be the case during these festivities, some of which are caused by drunk driving.
"As you drive, drive sober. We must be careful the way we behave this season. Let us not lose lives while we can control ourselves," she said.
On December 13, Pastor Dorcas told drug barons, dealers and people selling illicit brews that their days are numbered.
Speaking at SOT Technical Institute in Bomet, she 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.
