Governor Dr. Jonathan Bii has reaffirmed his administration\u2019s commitment to empowering individuals who have successfully completed the County\u2019s free three-month rehabilitation program, calling it a \u201cgame changer\u201d for Uasin Gishu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking in Moiben, Dr. Bii emphasized that drug addiction is a disease often misunderstood and praised the rehabilitation services as a transformative tool for restoring hope and dignity to those affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One such success story is Thomas Yator, a former addict who credited the Governor\u2019s initiative with saving his life. \u201cI had lost hope and even ended up in jail, but thanks to Governor Dr. Bii, I received treatment and life skills training that completely turned my life around,” he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Yator\u2019s remarkable recovery caught the attention of ADCB Director Koiya Arap Maiyo, who offered him a role at the very center that helped him heal. Maiyo praised Dr. Bii\u2019s bold vision and urged the Governor to extend similar support to women battling addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With lives already being transformed, Dr. Bii\u2019s initiative is proving to be more than just a policy\u2014it\u2019s a lifeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
