The Spouse of the Deputy President Pastor Dorcas Rigathi has toured the Cynerd Hospital in Embu County, one of the facilities that she seeks to place some of the boys for rehabilitation.
Pastor Dorcas says the facility with a capacity of more than 300 inpatients also provides a good place to involve the boys in income generating agriculture.
This is in line with the agenda of her office to dignify the lives of the boy-child through rehabilitation, skilling and empowerment.
The office of Pastor Dorcas will be doing some screening of the boys during a 2-Days medical camp at the Embu Stadium (tomorrow and Thursday) to identify the cases that can be placed under rehabilitation.
Pastor Dorcas is on a 3-days working tour of Embu County.
This afternoon she is expected to address students of Embu University in her ongoing prevention program in institutions of higher learning.
Pastor Dorcas has been in the forefront in condemning the illicit brewers and drug barons and aims at recovering the youths affected by the vice within Embu County.
In the past, the Second Lady urged youths to frustrate the illegal dealers through avoiding the substance that is destroying their lives.
“Those who sell poison to you are trying to make money. How I pray that you make them poor. And we are serving them notice. Any person who sells those poisons is a murderer,” she said.
The second Lady was joined by Embu Governor H. E Cecily Mbarire, County MP Hon.Pamela Njoki Njeru and the Director of the facility Dr. Evangeline Njoka among others.
