Mauga told a Cabinet meeting that the flow and spread of drugs in the territory is a concern to himself and traditional leaders because it is affecting the youth.
He referred to the drug problem as a silent killer in the community and said if we avoid the issue or sweep it under the rug, the consequences will be serious.
Mauga said not a week goes by without an incident involving drugs being reported.
"Drug paraphernalia and military guns, we must resist the presences of these things in our lives," he said.
