The drugs problem in Mombasa is a result of frustrations that youth undergo because they lack opportunities, businessman-cum-politician Suleiman Shahbal has said. Speaking on Sunday, Shahbal said to effectively fight the drugs menace, jobs must be created for the youth. Shahbal who is eying the Mombasa county governor position said the county needs elaborate structures that can scout, identify and nurture talent while still in the formative years. The drugs menace in the county is nothing new. Shahbal said once the drugs menace is tackled in Mombasa, the youth’s potential needs to be harnessed so that their energy is put to the right use.
