    "content": "My greatest concern is that areas that were traditionally considered as drug trafficking free are nowadays a haven for drug traffickers, especially in Northern Kenya. We have a huge border with our neighbouring countries, especially in Ethiopia, which is hard to man. We have witnessed in the last couple of years serious business of drug trafficking. We have a thriving drug trafficking business. It comes all the way from border areas like Moyale and El Wak. It passes through Mandera and Wajir, and comes all the way to Isiolo and finally into the Capital City of Kenya. I am sure that many Hon. Members watch news. These drug traffickers have become very clever. They come up with a very smart way of transporting these drugs, especially cannabis. They do not ordinarily transport it in the normal way where a police officer will suspect that drugs are carried in a sack. They drill holes in the tanks of the vehicles. Sometimes, it becomes very hard for them to find out where these drugs are. Our police officers have to be very smart. They have to emphasise on areas of surveillance. That is why communication interception is very critical."
