Kenya’s renewed fight against alcohol and drug abuse has entered a decisive phase. The Judiciary’s designation of special courts to handle narcotics-related cases is not merely an administrative adjustment; it is a powerful statement of intent.

It signals that the country is serious about dismantling drug networks and holding traffickers accountable, while aligning squarely with President William Ruto’s recent proclamation that the war on drugs must be prosecuted with urgency, coordination, and resolve.
