A man in Engineer, Kinangop Sub-County has surrendered bhang estimated at a value of one million shillings to the authorities.
Stephen Kamau, a youth from Nyandarua county has decided to change his life by surrendering 20,000 rolls of bhang to a church in Kinangop.
Speaking to the congregation, he revealed that he made a living by selling the rolls at ksh 50 each, a business he was conducting with seven of his colleagues.
“Today I return 20,000 rolls of bhang. I used to sell one roll at Sh50. It all comes to Sh1 million. I don’t care about the loss I have suffered by surrendering the bhang I used to work with a team of seven, selling bhang across, but we have all decided to stop, and start afresh, I know God will come along for us.”
Hundreds of parents have celebrated the news saying alot of young people in the area have been smoking and selling bhang abandoning responsible living.
The bhang was then submitted to the Nyandarua police station – before it was burned in public at the Engineer stadium as proof that the young men had changed their ways, and abandoned the business.
Elsewhere in Kerugoya, a 39 year old man has been arrested by the police after killing his son. Simon Mureithi Njeru as he is known, was arrested after he was suspected of beating his 17 year old son to death for smoking bhang.
The mother of the deceased said she went to the house and found her son unconscious. She rushed him to Kerugoya Hospital where he was admitted, but succumbed to the injuries caused by his father.
