On 22 December 2013, police officers mounted a special operation in Nairobi aimed at motorists suspected of driving under the influence. The crackdown led to several arrests in different parts of the city.
The operation relied on the Alcoblow device, which officers used to test drivers during the sweep. The source did not give the exact number of arrests, but it confirmed that multiple motorists were taken in after being found driving while intoxicated.
The enforcement drive showed a renewed push by police to curb drunk driving on Nairobi roads. No further details were provided on charges, court action, or whether the arrested motorists were later released.
