Siaya Senator James Orengo has accused the Jubilee administration of insincerity in its war against drug and substance use in the Coastal region.
Speaking on Monday, the legislator further claimed that the government could be unfairly targeting Opposition leaders in linking them to drug trafficking.
“Jubilee is targeting Cord/NASA leadership in the Coast on everything and anything," the Star quoted Orengo.
"In the beginning, a cocktail of election petition was sponsored against targeted individuals but these were subsequently dismissed by the Courts. Trumped up charges were then instituted but were quashed by the High Court sitting in Malindi and Nairobi," he continued.
The Senator further challenged the Jubilee administration to take a stern action against anybody involved in drug trafficking, arguing that the government has the instruments of power to curb the menace.
“They can fight the drug menace by closing our borders to any form of illegal trade and drug trafficking. They have the police, the Army, the Air force and the Navy," he observed.
