The Ahafo Regional Minister, Charity Gardiner, has voiced serious concerns about the increasing prevalence of drug abuse among the youth in her region.
During her visit to the Muslim community in Kenyasi No. 1 on March 30, 2025, where she made donations-including mats, soft drinks, water, and money-she highlighted the widespread misuse of substances such as tramadol and marijuana.
She warned that this alarming trend could lead to severe health and security issues if not addressed urgently.
Charity Gardiner called for a unified response from religious leaders, traditional authorities, parents, and law enforcement to tackle the issue and protect the younger generation.
