At least 4000 youths have been rendered jobless after the ban on Miraa came into effect in the United Kingdom Tuesday.
Dan Opiyo one of the youth from Majengo employed as a sorter for the commodity meant for export now says the government and Kenyans should brace themselves for increased insecurity cases in Nairobi.
Speaking to Ghetto Radio News, Opiyo says the economy of Kamkunji area especially Majengo and Eastleigh will be affected greatly if no alternative is sort.
He has further lashed at the government for the slow response and its inability to intervene before the ban took place. He is however calling on the youth to look for alternative sources of employment instead of engaging in crime.
The British Home Office has reclassified the crop, also known as Khat, as a class C illegal drug meaning that those caught in possession or trafficking it could be prosecuted.
