The government has issued a stern warning to cartels driving the illegal alcohol trade, unlicensed betting operations and drug trafficking networks, urging communities to rise up and shield the youth from the grip of organized crime.
This bold message came as Kenya joined the rest of the world in commemorating the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, with a high-profile sensitization event held at Uhuru Gardens in Kericho, under the global theme Stop Organized Crime.
The event brought together key partners including the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA), National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK), Kenya Red Cross, the County Government of Kericho, and Kericho Township Technical and Vocational College (KTVC).
Students, local leaders, and members of civil society took part in marches, exhibitions, skits, and awareness forums.
