Central Region Commissioner Wilson Njega has ordered all security agents in the region to double their efforts in the crackdown on illegal alcohol and drugs. Njega said level one will cover illicit brews and drugs and level two second generation alcoholic drinks that have caused a "serious problem" for residents of Nyandarua and other parts of Central. He spoke at Catholic Hall, Ol kalou, on Friday afternoon during a security meeting with all administrators, police bosses and intelligence officials from Nyandarua. Njega also asked the officers to deal ruthlessly with gangs, whether they are from Central or other regions, and ensure the order against forest logging is strictly enforced. On conservation, Njega noted deforestation is a big challenge in the region, particularly in the Aberdare catchment area.
