IG Kanja directs police to be firm in fighting brews

The Inspector General of police, Douglas Kanja, has urged police officers to step up the crackdown on illicit brews and drugs, during the festive season, warning that alcohol and drug abuse have been linked to rising cases of crime, including gender-based violence. Speaking during a prayer service for police officers and their families at the holy family basilica in Nairobi, Kanja also called on traffic officers to strictly enforce traffic rules, to curb road accidents during the festive period.
