To address the crisis, the President said the government would treat alcohol and drug abuse as a national development and security emergency. “We will establish a strengthened Anti-Narcotics Unit within the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, with operational capacity comparable to the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit,” Ruto said.
