Between the month of May and October 2019, the Directorate of Criminal Investigation nabbed bhang worth more than Ksh9 million in Migori and Narok counties, the Daily Nation reported.
According to Bomet Central Sub-county Police Commander Geoffrey Walumbe, the dealers used the most daring of ways to ferry the drugs from neighbouring countries into Kenya.
"The most daring of their strategies is ferrying bhang using public service vehicles (PSVs) in broad daylight," Walumbe revealed.
On Monday, May 13, two women were arrested in Bomet carrying 32.5kg of bhang that was stuffed in two bags.
The women were on transit from Kisii to Narok when the law enforcers nabbed them.
“The two women were very daring, transporting drugs in a vehicle that had other passengers,” the Bomet Sub-county police commander wondered.
The DCI revealed that drug barons devised new ways of hiding drugs in transit.
"The most common method these criminals use is using women and young girls to ferry the consignment from one point to another disguised as bundles of clothing," Walumbe added.
Many of the dealers use roads that are not manned by police.
Four counties: Migori, Narok, Bomet and Kericho play a crucial part in the sale and transportation of bhang to Nairobi and other destinations.
The dealers drive through Sirare in Migori then to Kilgoris in Trans Mara, Narok County to avoid police roadblocks in Kisii Town.
