The code of conduct among lecturers in universities have been put on the spot after a report by the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) listed lecturers among those who are supplying drugs to students.
In a recent survey done on 15,730 sample students, NACADA found that nearly half of university students use drugs with their lecturers being among those who supply the drugs to them.
The report titled Status of Drugs and Substance Use Among University Students in Kenya revealed that seven per cent of the students got drugs from their lecturers. "We were asking them, where do they get these drugs and we found that the teaching staff is supplying them, seven per cent of them are getting the drugs from the teaching staff," the Director Research, Standards and Licensing NACADA John Muteti revealed.
The NACADA report titled Status of Drugs and Substance Use Among University Students in Kenya, February 13, 2025.
