NACADA Pushes for Expanded Specialised Drug Courts

The National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) is advocating for the expansion of specialised courts to handle drug-related offences and organised crime.

Proposed Court Expansions

NACADA Board Chairperson Dr Stephen Mairori has proposed the establishment of dedicated magistrates’ courts in Embu and Eldoret, as well as the reinstatement of Shanzu Law Court and the creation of a High Court for organised crime.

The proposed expansions aim to enhance access to justice and improve the handling of drug-related offences.
