The government has appointed an accusing finger to
owners of the private sober centres located in various places in the country for
allowing the illicit drug addicts to continue using drugs instead of
enlightening them the negative impacts caused on their lives to abide by the
purpose for which the centres were established. The Minister of
State in the Prime Minister's Office responsible for Policy, Parliamentary
Affairs, Labour, Employment, Youth and Disabled Hon. Jenista
Mhagama has said. The minister informed the August House currently in its
budget session in Dodoma that, as the government was taking serious initiatives
to help illicit drug addicts who have chronic to change out their mindset in
its sober centres, private sober centres tend to aggravates the move. She said that,
there are some private registered sober centres in the country which do not
take serious initiates towards helping the affected youths and instead do keep
them using the drugs. However, the minister has cautioned and gave a directive that
whoever will be found live perpetrating the move instead of helping to reduce
the menace, them strict legal measures will be taken against them. The Minister
was answering a supplementary question which was raised by a legislator Hon.
Halima Abdallah who wanted to know steps taken by the government to curb with
rumours spread around that in private sober centres the situation of the
affected drug addicts is so dangerous.,
