Yei River County Civil Society Organizations Forum on Wednesday welcomed various orders issued by Mayor Santo Paul Lasuba, banning illegal drug abuse and sex business to save the young generation from criminal activities.
The Forum’s Secretary General Dara Felix David attributed the rise of health related diseases, ineffective decision making and public disorder to illegal drug consumption and sex business, Radio Easter reported.
He said sex business and drug abuse violate some sections in the Penal Code, urging the youths to desist from imported norms and traditions, but engage in constructive activities with great respect to the operation unit.
Mr Dara also called on the county and municipal authorities to track down criminals exercising the prohibited business and bring perpetrators to book.
The Forum’s Secretary General made the statements on Wednesday in Yei.
