Ratu Suli: Namosi to be drug-free soon

The province of Namosi is committed to becoming drug-free within the next three years.

The announcement, made by Namosi paramount chief Ratu Suliano Matanitobu, outlines strict new measures designed to tackle the growing drug crisis that has plagued the region, with an additional two-year extension if the goal is not met.

Ratu Suliano emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that Namosi's fight against drug abuse is a top priority and that the province is determined to rid itself of this menace.

"We are committed to eradicat­ing drug abuse within Namosi," Ratu Suliano said.

"If we don't achieve our goal in three years, we will extend our efforts for another two years. But we are serious about this."

He said drastic measures in­clude the removal of individuals caught in drug-related activities from their communities.

The new policy would apply to residents across the province, including those from Naboro to Navua, as well as others living within Namosi.

"Our community will hold those responsible for their ac­tions," Ratu Suliano stated.

"This is in line with our vanua's teachings and traditional values, where accountability and col­lective responsibility are para­mount."
