Kenya: Addicts Reveal Tactics Used to Peddle Drugs

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Nairobi – The drug war received a major boost after peddlers and addicts opened up and disclosed crucial information on drug trafficking.

The addicts publicly narrated how the drug business is conducted after Coast PC Earnest Munyi assured them of protection.

In an interview with some users and peddlers, the Nation has learnt that disabled people were being used to peddle drugs because security agents and the public did not pay much attention to them.

Mr Hudson Karume said the disabled had been conducting the business for years without being noticed.

“Drug barons use different ways of supplying drugs and there are tens of disabled people who peddle drugs with ease,” said Mr Karume.

Anti-drugs activist Amina Abdalla asked the police to use the vital information they had received from the addicts and peddlers to crush the illegal trade.

“We have received a lot of information on how drugs are being ferried to addicts and it is unfortunate some drug barons are misusing the disabled to earn a living,” said Ms Abdalla.

At the same time, some drug addicts have reported receiving death threats. “Since I first gave information in public on how drugs are peddled at the Coast, I have been receiving death threats. I am asking the government accord us security,” said Mr James Ochieng, a drug addict.

Meanwhile, Catholic Bishop Matin Kivuva has criticised leaders involved in drug dealing. The Machakos parish bishop said the drug menace was a reality that could no longer be ignored.

“I sympathise with young people whose lives have been destroyed by drugs. “Unfortunately, it is the leaders whom they have elected that are ruining their lives by trading in drugs,” he said.

He was speaking at Our Lady of Lourdes Cathedral in Machakos Town. Bishop Kivuva said leaders dealing in drugs should not be allowed to continue serving in government or any other capacity.

“They are evil, and what do you do with an evil man? God tells us not to associate with the devil. Why are we still dining and wining with Satan?” he asked.
