700 “Junkies” arrested in one night. We are sitting on a time bomb

Both Government and the Drug Enforcement Commission are sleeping on their job. All manner and type of drugs have proliferated our youth like candy sweets and has began to affect every household. It’s like a plague.
Further extensive and public alcohol abuse is back thanks to little regulation regarding packaging of strong alcohol, that makes it available for the price of coins.
You can not abandon an entire generation addicted to alcohol and drugs and think arrests will resolve the crisis.
Look at the crime statistics..crime prevalence has trebbled and escalated in a few years!
My pain is government’s nonchalant approach abandoning crime patrols, allowing our airports and borders to be so porous that anyone can come in with anything, and allowing drug cartels and drug society to emerge freely like it is in Chibolya which remains untouchable.
We are sitting on a time bomb.
Mwamba most of these junkies are a creation of your PF. Under your reign such was the envy of the youth in markets , bus stops and intercity Main station. The junkie movement began to grow and extortion money from the general public. No one was spared . Those who own land suffered as their land was forcefully grabbed and sold . Any dissenting voice was silenced using this junkie army. Yes we have a problem today with this junkie movement but PF must take responsibility for it.

Take them to well secured farms eg under ZNS and start paying them for their labour. That is the only permanent solution. There will be food-security with cheap labour.

Arrest anyone whether young or old who breaks the law, the law has no exceptions for those who knowingly and ignorantly break the law. Junkies are a problem in this country, but if they break the law then that energy they have in breaking the law much be channeled by state to be applied at prison farms that way perhaps these junkies can actually learn that they can make a living through applying themselves correctly by taking up opportunities to legally make money. Kudos to govt for ridding the streets with these notorious young criminals.

Junkies are a PF creation. These brats never existed until ECL took over.
