President commends Kenya Navy in fight against drug trafficking

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has praised the role played by Kenya Navy in the fight against drug traffickers and piracy.
Kenyatta said the navy has also help deter attacks from other criminals using the sea in their illegal activities, recalling the recent destruction of a ship carrying drugs which he witnessed.

“Building on its many successful interventions in connection with our territorial waters, our navy has disrupted several drug trafficking attempts,” he said in Mombasa during the 50th Anniversary Celebrations of the Kenya Navy.
