More than 30 officials at the Eldoret International Airport are under investigations following the seizure of mandrax drugs. Senior government officials are expected to visit the airport this week to make operational changes. Three Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) officials and one from the Poisons and Pharmacy Board were arrested at the airport on Friday. There was commotion at the airport during the operation when KRA officials tried to block investigators from accessing stores where the drugs are kept. The agencies flagged the consignment as suspect, but sources indicated the flagging was turned into ‘usual occurrence’ by KRA officials.
