Meanwhile, The Government through the Ministry of Interior has announced it will unleash all the resources at its disposal to fight the war on narcotic drugs, substance abuse and consumption of poisonous alcoholic drinks.
Illicit liquor and narcotic drugs are an existential threat to the future of our Nation and affect every family, directly or indirectly.
Like the fight against terrorism, banditry and organised crime, the crackdown on manufacturers, distributors and traders involved in the illicit liquor and narcotic drugs enterprise is a security operation that will be undertaken without any politicisation or vested business interests.
Security officers aiding or abetting the distribution and consumption of poisonous and toxic substances leading to loss of lives and injury will not be transferred to other jurisdictions.
They will be discontinued from service and prosecuted with the most severe charges. Held a consultative meeting with the Kirinyaga County Security Team led by County Commissioner Hussein Alaso.
