Isiolo Law Courts officiated the burning of bhang worth Ksh20 million which police had seized in Isiolo and neighbouring regions for the last six months.
The illegal drugs were set on fire at the Isiolo Law Courts Grounds, which was witnessed by the Court’s Chief Magistrate Lucy Mutai, Nacada CEO Victor Okioma, Isiolo County Commissioner Geoffrey Omoding, and County Criminal Investigations Officer Betty Chepng’eno, among other top government officials.
Mutai stated that the majority of bhang users are young individuals who are squandering their life.
“The struggle against drug and substance misuse will only be won if every member of society performs their duty correctly,” she stated.
Okioma described the bhang burning exercise in Isiolo as a big accomplishment in the battle against drug and substance trafficking and misuse.
He stated that bhang has caused numerous mental health issues among Kenyans.
