Expressing his unwavering commitment to supporting the DCI’s fight against the drug trade, the Deputy President acknowledged the devastating impact drugs have had on the lives of countless young people in Kenya. In his statement, he emphasized, “I am very impressed by the work that you are doing, and I will be paying a visit to the Directorate to explore ways in which the Government can further support the Anti-Narcotics Unit, to cascade the war to all parts of the country, especially in rural areas, where drugs and substance abuse are also rampant.”
A Visit to the Frontlines
