US Raises Status of Kenya's Anti-Narcotics Unit
Kenya’s Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) status has been upgraded to the sensitive investigations unit of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
DEA attaché in Kenya Steven Hummel says the upgrade follows the unit's successful efforts in the fight against narcotics, citing arrest of the Akashas as an example.
The United States has also donated two vehicles to the Office of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to boost operations of the Anti-Narcotics Unit.
“Following successful interceptions, investigations & arrests of high profile Drug Dealers by the Anti-Narcotics Unit of the DCI, the US government thro’ it’s (DEA) has today announced the upgrade of Formal Vetted Unit(FVU) of Kenya’s ANU to DEA’s Sensitive Investigations Unit,” the DCI says in a statement.
Kenya becomes the 14 country in the world and third in Africa to get the status.
This comes at a time when the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is pursuing more than 10 prominent Kenyans linked to the Akashas drug trafficking syndicate.
The suspects include an ODM Governor and his brother, two Jubilee party Governors, a Member of Parliament, a former Governor, a current and former senior police head.

If I was one of those mentioned I would be peeing in my pants. This is straight up enticement or bribery to give up a few people. Hakuna cha bure na hawa watu. My question is suppose the axe falls on those who have not appointed deputy governor, what happens next?

This is called creating the infrastructure for things to come. Its a heads up of some sort. In my village the chang'aa dens were never moved by the Chief and his APs doing patrols. But the days the village saw the Chief in company of regular police, the whole group of idlers, brewers, drunkards and suspicious men of the village took cover in the forest for half a day. Not to mention the day the Anti-Stock theft unit paid us a "visit" and no one saw them come because they came from the forest and there was nowhere to run to. What happened that weekend is a story for another day. Slow but surely the cover of darkness is coming and a knock on the doors of those mentioned will mean only one thing-it is over! NY prosecutors will expedite these cases to NY time not our time.
