Lenaremo said all security organs within the Sub-County will have no time to rest because political rallies and their safety demand their maximum attention.
The DCC however said he has instructed chiefs and their grassroots team to ensure alcohol is not sold to persons below 18 years and also organize the arrest of drug traffickers in villages who would want to ruin the lives of innocent youths.
“We are aware that certain ill intended people want to ruin the lives of young people by selling them hard drugs. We will not allow it,” warned Lenaremo.
