The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Wednesday received a major boost in its war against drug trafficking after receiving four vehicles from the United States government, customized for such operations.

In a statement seen by Kenyans.co.ke, the agency revealed that the four vehicles were handed over by Joseph Kellams, a top official from the US embassy who was representing the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Country Attaché.

During the handover ceremony attended by the Director of Criminal Investigations Deputy Director Ireri Kamwende, the US official exuded confidence that the vehicles will complement DCI’s mobility efforts in fighting the crime that has previously been cited as a threat to national security.

Kamwende was representing DCI boss Amin Mohamed who was out on official duty.

As per the statement, the American official praised the ongoing collaboration between the United States and DCI, as both nations strive to work together in combating transnational organized crimes.

Senior officials from Homeland Security were also in attendance at the Wednesday event, underscoring the significance the US government had placed on the meeting and collaboration between the two nations.

He also acknowledged that Kenya had taken drastic steps in addressing emerging security threats in the country.

Notably, the donations by the US came days after the DCI launched a crackdown on suspected drug peddlers in the capital.

The recent crackdown has seen over three people including Nancy Indoveria Kigunzu, alias ‘Mathe wa Ngara’ arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking.
