Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Most youth who have gone a stray are children of big people who give them money without understanding how it is being spent, the Minister of Information has said.<\/p>\n

Hon. Michael Makuei delivered these remarks on Friday, March 22, 2024, at the launch of the book titled: 13 Reasons Why Youth Are Stranded Today \u2013 authored by Ms. Atong Kuol Malual.<\/p>\n

Hon. Makuei urges the youth to prioritize their well-being by making wise choices if they want to become future leaders.<\/p>\n

He says some young people become drug addicts because their parents gave them money without making any follow-up on how they used that money.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome young people are drug addicts, but why did they become addicts, is it because of other reasons, is it a lack of employment, is it a lack of funds? You cannot be a drug addict as long as you don\u2019t have the money to buy the drugs,\u201d Makuei asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor your information, most of the youth who have strayed, are our sons and daughters, we the big people, we give them money and we don\u2019t follow how they use this money, this one of our major problems,\u201d said the minister of information.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we give you that amount, whatever I give you, and you go and use it to the best of your ability, to your interest, you will not become a drug addict.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no drug addict who has no money, you must have money to become a drug addict, you can not be a drunkard if you don\u2019t have money to buy alcohol.\u201d<\/p>\n

The minister of information states the current leaders fought for the independence of South Sudan for young people.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll issues are interrelated this is why I\u2019m advising you the youth to read this book carefully and try to educate yourself and control yourself so that you prepare for future leadership,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe fought the war, yes, but for whom we fight it, we fought it for you as the future leaders, but if some of you go to the drugs and they become the drug addicts, some become other things, this will not help,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou read this book, read these 13 reasons and find your place within this book, are you included or not, if you\u2019re included please try to sort out that book and correct yourself accordingly, if you\u2019re excluded then you move on, and move ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
