Anthony Omerikwa, NACADA’s Chief Executive Officer, described this development as more than just a certificate. He stated that a well-trained K9 unit is a “force multiplier” in detecting illegal substances, intercepting drug trafficking, and safeguarding Kenyan communities. Tuko.co.ke – Kenya news.+1
The training follows the government’s 100-Day Rapid Results Initiative (RRI) under the Ministry of Interior, which aims to enhance enforcement and accelerate results in the war against substance abuse. NACADA says the graduates will immediately be part of the enforcement frontlines using detection dogs to disrupt supply chains. Citizen Digital+2The Standard+2
