    "content": " Hon. Speaker, in response to the statement being sought by Hon. Nicholas Tindi Mwale, the Member for Butere, regarding the fight against drug trafficking in the country, I want to state as follows. The Member wanted to know the number of users of hard drugs in the country, as registered by the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA), with a specific focus on heroin and cocaine; the reported involvement of law enforcement officers, that is, the National Police Service; and the status of the war against drug abuse, including an enumeration of the rehabilitation programmes for persons affected by drug abuse. Hon. Speaker, Kenya faces a number of challenges as far as alcohol and drug abuse is concerned, and the problem transcends through race, income level and economic or social status, and continues to affect the overall productivity of Kenyans. The number of users of the hard drug is obtained from the various surveys that the authority has carried out over the years. It is a voluminous document based on a survey result."
