Public participation needed before muguka ban, says Governor Ndeti

Machakos County Governor Wavinya Ndeti has said she will not ban Muguka until public participation on the same is conducted.

Governor Ndeti however urged the church to help in instilling the right morals in the youths to help curtail the escalation of drug abuse and other vices
