The senior chief of Masinga Location in Machakos County, Henry Nyilu has raised concern over increased miraa vendors who are selling bhang to the youth.
The chief stated that many young men from different counties have been running miraa kiosks and secretly stocking bhang and selling illegal drugs.
"We have been doing random crackdowns together with Administration police in Masinga town and have found several miraa stalls in possession of bhang," said Nyilu.
Nyilu, however, made it clear that on Monday evening he had arrested 10 men with more than 16 rolls of bhang.
"Yesterday we arrested ten men with more than 16 rolls of bhang at the same miraa areas and have taken them to Masinga police station. We will not encourage people to inject bhangi in our areas," he added.
According to the chief, the arrested had identity cards that showed they were residents of other counties.
Police have declared war on both illicit brew and bhang selling in all areas of Masinga sub-county. The arrested will he arraigned in Kithimani court on Tuesday.
