The meeting, to be held at the Bintumani Conference Center, will bring together Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), government ministries, religious leaders, Paramount Chiefs, and the public for an open discussion on the problem and collaborative solutions.

Minister Bah emphasized the government’s commitment to tackling “kush” and urged citizens to actively participate. He called on the public to come forward with evidence of individuals involved in the trade, assuring them that the government is prepared to take action.

The details of “kush” remain unclear, but this announcement suggests it’s a pressing issue requiring a multi-faceted approach. The Town Hall meeting signifies the government’s intention to involve various stakeholders in finding solutions.
