Police, youth discuss drug abuse

NYARUGENGE - The acting Commissioner General of Police has called upon the youth to adopt constructive Rwandan values in order to overcome bad morals that might be caused by ‘modernity’. Mary Gahonzire was on Sunday speaking to youths of Nyarugenge district gathered at Maison des Jeunes in Kimisagara. The gathering was in line with the fight against drug abuse. The meeting, which saw some youths confessing to drug abuse but which they have since abandoned, were also entertained with live music by local artists. Gahonzire said that some youth abuse alcohol and drugs and disrespect their parents and superiors in the name of modernity.
