The National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) has affirmed its position against legalizing marijuana for recreational purposes, countering growing calls from some Members of Parliament to reconsider its status. The agency's stance comes as several lawmakers have publicly supported decriminalization efforts, citing potential economic and medical benefits.
A video recording of the discussion, shared through a YouTube platform, highlights the ongoing debate over drug policy reforms in Kenya. While the clip does not provide direct quotes from NACADA officials, it underscores the tension between regulatory bodies and legislative proposals regarding controlled substances.
