NAIROBI—The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNDOC) started a program that will fight violent extremism, drugs and corruption among the youth.
UNDOC wants to create harmony and understanding between the police, communities and the media.
On Monday, residents of Pangani, shauri Moyo and areas that are mostly associated with violence were given a chance to highlight challenges they face when dealing with violence and corruption.
“This is a pilot program, we want to create a peaceful coexistence between communities ultimately,” Abdinasir Adan, a local UNDOC community advisor told Kulan post.
Eastleigh residents are set to benefit from this program as gangsters such as the dreaded Super power shall be neutralized. The cases of police coming to Eastleigh at night and asking for bribes may also be a thing of the past.
“Pangani police station is no longer the same, there are CCTV cameras everywhere, this is to create transparency, we shall deal with corrupt and rogue police officers,” Pangani OCS noted.
Most parents were pointing fingers at the media, it was accused of working only for the politicians and the rich.
“The media has failed us, the police are corrupt and our children keep on indulging in drugs and violence. I hope this program will help us solve this issues,” Nuria, a mother from Eastleigh said.
The workshop took place at Laico Regency hotel in Nairobi.
