Kikuyu Men’s Conference (KMC) was held on Saturday at Kenol in Murang’a county. The conference brought together male members of the larger Kikuyu community from Central Kenya.
Topping the declaration were the community’s unity and interests, fight against drugs, among key issues. In a report released by the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse NACADA in September, Central region led in the consumption of portable spirits at 4.1 percent and use of miraa at 11.9 percent. The region was third in the consumption of alcohol countrywide at 12.8 percent.
Additionally, the women from the region had outcried the high rate of alcohol consumption of men and youths from the region. In April this year, the deputy president conveyed a meeting with leaders from the region to chat away forward on how to fight alcohol menace in the region; the meeting was conveyed by Githunguri constituency Gathoni Wamuchomba.
With the region’s unity seemingly in a limbo, there has been calls recently from leaders of the region for the community to unity as prior, with former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga calling upon leaders to unity.
