NAIROBI, Kenya, May 24 \u2013 A major NACADA crackdown on illicit alcohol and narcotics in Narok North and Narok West sub-counties has led to the destruction of thousands of litres of illegal brews and the seizure of narcotics in a multi-agency operation.<\/p>\n
The operation, conducted on\u00a0May 22 and 23, 2025, targeted notorious hotspots in\u00a0Topoti\/Emorogi and Naikara markets, where illicit alcohol and drug trade has been rampant. <\/p>\n
Led by\u00a0NACADA Head of Enforcement Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Nicholas Kosgey, the operation involved officers from\u00a0NACADA, the National Government Administration Officers (NGAO), and the National Police Service (NPS).<\/p>\n
In\u00a0Topoti\/Emorogi, enforcement teams raided multiple households suspected to be illicit brewing dens, destroying over\u00a05,000 litres of Kangara, a potent illegal brew. <\/p>\n
Additionally,\u00a05 kilograms of bhang\u00a0were recovered. <\/p>\n
However, the operation faced a setback as traders and suspects fled upon sensing the officers\u2019 presence, leaving no arrests made.<\/p>\n
Moving to\u00a0Naikara Market, the team conducted compliance checks on alcohol outlets, which destroyed\u00a060 litres of Busaa, another illicit brew. <\/p>\n
Intelligence reports indicate that the area is flooded with\u00a0counterfeit products and uncustomed goods suspected of being smuggled from Tanzania, prompting calls for a more extensive crackdown involving other agencies.<\/p>\n
Despite suspects\u2019 evasion, the operation has sent a strong message to peddlers of illegal substances. <\/p>\n
Residents have welcomed the crackdown, expressing relief and pledging cooperation with authorities to rid the region of the vice.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe public has been supportive and is willing to assist in future operations,\u201d said Kosgey.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is just the beginning\u2014more crackdowns will follow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Authorities have vowed to sustain the momentum, warning that those involved in the illicit trade will face the full force of the law. <\/p>\n
The operation continues as part of broader efforts to combat drug and alcohol abuse in the region.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
