The province of Namosi has pledged to achieve a drug-free status within the next three years, as announced by the region’s paramount chief, Ratu Suliano Matanitobu. This commitment comes in response to an escalating drug crisis and involves implementing stringent measures to combat the issue. If the target is not met within the initial three-year period, the plan will be extended by an additional two years.
Ratu Suliano underscored the critical nature of this initiative, insisting that addressing drug abuse is of utmost importance for the community. He stated, “We are committed to eradicating drug abuse within Namosi,” and emphasized the seriousness of their intentions. One of the proposed measures includes the removal of individuals involved in drug-related activities from their neighborhoods, thereby holding community members accountable for their actions.
The enforcement of this new policy will impact all residents across the province, from Naboro to Navua, signaling a collective effort to uphold community values and responsibilities. Ratu Suliano highlighted that this initiative aligns with the traditional values of their vanua, where mutual accountability and collective responsibility are essential.
This robust approach reflects a community’s resolve to create a healthier and safer environment for all its members. By taking decisive action against drug abuse, Namosi aims not only to rid itself of this menace but also to strengthen communal bonds and support systems. It is a hopeful step towards a brighter future, as local leaders encourage collective efforts to address and overcome this pressing challenge.
