Concern is rising in Nakasaleka, a district in Kadavu, regarding the supply and usage of marijuana, prompting local leaders to take action to safeguard the province’s reputation and future. District Officer Rovuama Walai acknowledges that Kadavu has historically been linked to the distribution of this illicit drug, and he emphasizes the pressing need to discourage such activities to protect the integrity of the province and its people.
Walai indicates that the tikina is collaborating closely with law enforcement to curb illegal drug trade and prevent it from taking further hold in the community. He states, “We do not want Kadavu to be known for drugs. This practice is destroying our name and putting our young people at risk. We are working closely with the police and our communities because the future of Kadavu is more important than quick money.”
In response to the growing concerns, police presence in the area has notably increased in recent weeks, showcasing a proactive stance from authorities to address this issue. Additionally, Walai mentions that community engagement efforts are being intensified to collectively tackle the problem and inspire residents to envision a safer and more positive trajectory for Kadavu.
The proactive measures being implemented by local leaders and law enforcement signal a renewed hope for the community, as they strive to transform Kadavu into a place celebrated for its resilience and potential rather than one associated with illegal activities. This united front may pave the way for a brighter future for the youth and the district as they work together to foster a reputation built on integrity and vision.
