About Me

I am a Tried Tested Leader

I was born on May 28th 1995 in Nakuru county, Molo constituency. The son of a farmer, Mututho was instilled with the core values – honesty, hard work and belief in God – that define him today.
After school, I started by working in the civil service for over 11 years, 2 years coordinating International Agencies and the Kenya Government projects.

I am married, and a father of eight. I love my family and before taking up any role out of home, I am a leader at home. I believe each parent has the responsibility to provide, care and love his family.

My desire is to go the extra mile, to see through the accomplishment and attainment of the people’s goals and objectives; while making their lives more profitable, improving on service delivery to the people and improving the lives of the people I am mandated to serve and improve

Mututho Urges Parliament To Enact The Anti-Narcotic Bill

Former National Authority for the Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) Chairman Mr John Mututho, has called on Parliament to fast-tract enactment of the Anti-narcotic Bill into law.

Mututho said the solution in dealing with the drug menace and drug lords lay in enacting into law the anti-narcotic Bill currently in the National Assembly.

He regretted that Covid-19 pandemic had seen the fight against outlawed drugs and other substances reduce as the authorities focused more on the virus containment adding that there was need for intensifying the anti-narcotic fight as well.

Addressing the press in Naivasha yesterday, Mututho observed “The country’s hope   to curb drug abuse rests with the honorable members acting fast to enact the bill.”

He singled out provisions of the bill that proposes seizure of all assets belonging to drug barons once convicted of their offenses and the proceeds of their illegal businesses directed to rehabilitate the addicts.

While hailing the 12th parliament for efforts to amend the current Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances control Act, Mututho acknowledged that its provisions were more lenient on drug barons and suppliers which was an impediment to the anti-drugs fight.

He thus noted that the new bill has introduced hefty fines targeting drugs peddlers which will significantly address the current crisis of drug abuse in the country.

The former NACADA chair was happy that JOMEC Rehabilitation Center in Nakuru has rehabilitated more than 3,500 addicts including 300 government officers. “We must tighten our laws to confront the current challenges in drugs and substance abusers,” said Mututho.

He at the same time appealed to the government to increase budgetary allocation to NACADA saying the Sh300m the agency get currently is not enough to fight deep pocketed drug barons who he alleged were backed by some rogue State officers.

He further called on the World Health Organization to support government efforts in the fight against drug abuse and dismissed calls by a section of members of the public to legalize bhang saying the drug had adverse health effects on consumers.

There have been several attempts to legalize marijuana in the country through legislation in Parliament and court petitions with the latest attempt coming from the Rastafari Society of Kenya.
