Mapping Cannabis Trafficking in Kenya,2024

The study established that despite the robust legal, policy and regulatory frameworks and law enforcement measures over the years, cannabis production, cultivation, trafficking, sale and consumption are still major challenges in Kenya. This study found that without addressing the sources of cannabis, efforts to control its trafficking, sale and consumption in the country are likely to remain ineffective. Arresting petty traffickers, peddlers and consumers targets the symptoms of the problem rather than the underlying main source – large-scale cannabis trafficking networks. Petty peddlers are at the bottom of the drug supply chain, and their arrest does little to disrupt the larger-scale networks that control the production, trafficking, and distribution of cannabis.
