The Evangelical Alliance of Kenya endorsed the recently announced National Policy addressing alcohol, drugs, and substance abuse prevention. Religious leaders described the initiative as transformative for combating Kenya's growing addiction problems. NACADA and the Ministry of Interior collaborated to develop this comprehensive strategy targeting multiple sectors nationwide. Rev. Kepha Nyandega and Bishop Philip Kitoto signed the official statement supporting the government framework. The faith-based organization emphasized the policy's focus on prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and community strengthening.
Alliance representatives highlighted special protections for children and youth who face marketing manipulation and social pressure. Constitutional rights, human dignity, and scientific evidence form the policy's foundation according to church officials. Teen Challenge Kenya represents one affiliate ministry providing faith-based recovery services through biblical and medical approaches. The organization plans to engage churches across all counties for awareness efforts and pastoral support. EAK urged religious groups, civil society, government agencies, families, and businesses to collaborate on implementation for national improvement.
