By JB Nateleng

Eastern Regional Commissioner Jacob Ouma Muganda has raised concerns over the alleged increase in cases of human trafficking and drug smuggling along the Moyale–Marsabit–Isiolo highway.

Speaking in Moyale last Thursaday, Muganda warned that anyone found engaging in the illegal activities would face firm legal action, emphasizing the need to strengthen security measures along the busy transport corridor.

He also questioned the effectiveness of police roadblocks established along the highway, urging security officers to ensure they are being used effectively to curb criminal activities.

The regional coordinator further warned that police officers found colluding with human traffickers or facilitating the illegal trade would be held accountable in accordance with the law.
