She said that among causes of bad leadership include using drugs and called on youth to invest their efforts in fighting against them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo country can develop without having good leadership, without having good politicians. Those countries with endless conflicts and wars have bad leadership; politicians do not care about their populations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She said that it is unbearable to see youth using drugs yet the country is expecting much from them in the future.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cSome people don\u2019t take this problem seriously; we should stand against this problem so that we enable youth live healthy. You can\u2019t be a politician or entrepreneur when you are not healthy, simply, when you use drugs,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p> \u201cDrugs only weaken the competences of users. They are also top causes of crime including insurrection, murder, theft, accidents and committing suicide among others,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>She said that during the training, they expect that youth will learn qualities of a good politician so that they will help their colleagues who did not attend.<\/p>\n<p>The National Coordinator of youth in PL, Virginie Akimanizanye said that they will sensitize youth to avoid using drugs.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cOur responsibility is to teach youth about the effects of drugs so that they avoid using them; continuing to use them would be bogging national development efforts,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-23988 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/perezida_w_ishyaka_riharanira_ukwishyira_ukizana_kwa_buri_muntu_pl_mukabalisa_donatille_-af76d.jpg\" alt=\"Mukabalisa speaks to PL youth yesterday\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-23989 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/urubyiruko_rwitabiriye_rwiyemeje_kurwanya_ibiyobyabwenge-21955.jpg\" alt=\"Training participants\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Speaker of Parliament and President of Liberal Party (PL), Donatille Mukabalisa has said that no country can develop with irresponsible leadership at the helm and and youth using drugs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-36952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36952\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36952"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=36952"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=36952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
