CCM out to tackle gambling habits, moral decay

THE ruling party, CCM, has promised to engage the government in tackling moral decay among the youth, including excessive engagement in gambling and betting.


During his ongoing visit to Geita Region, CCM Secretary-General Ambassador Emmanuel Nchimbi said the party is committed to addressing significant concerns raised by local residents regarding excessive youth engagement in gambling.


“The party will work on all the issues contributing to moral decay among the youth, including gambling and betting. We will also continue to direct the government to address development challenges facing society,” he said.

While visiting Bwanga Ward in Chato District, Dr Nchimbi responded to complaints about the rise in gambling and betting, which he said has led to detrimental effects on youth behavior, including selling personal property to fund their gambling habits.


Dr Nchimbi assured the community that the party would actively address these issues, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the moral fabric of both current and future generations.
