The neck tie, the shiny suits with a passionate embrace of a bible
by the chest is one thing priests are good at; well, this time round, things
looked pretty much the same, just like any other Sunday. Worshippers trooped
the church to celebrate mass and as usual, the man of God was at his best to
deliver the sermon.
As police investigations reveal, the baron, only identified as
father Mike (Identity hidden for security reasons) is believed to be high above
the chain of a notorious drug cartel in the country. With several bundles of
marijuana found hidden in his cubicle, the congregation was left shocked when
police pounced in the middle of the sermon to apprehend the drug lord. Mama
John, a lifetime worshiper at the church could not hide her disappointment in
their highly trusted shepherd who had shamelessly defiled the altar of God; she
wept.
Cases of drug trafficking have been on the rise in the recent past
with President Uhuru Kenyatta giving a stiff warning to drug peddlers to leave
the country at once. According to the National Authority for the Campaign
against Alcohol and Drugs (NACADA), the use of cannabis rose by a margin of 0.5
percent in the years 2007 to 2012, a very alarming case. Cocaine and heroin
have also been reported as a favorite drug for addicts with its use expanding
by up to 0.2 percent in 2012.
Owing to the situation, a major drug swoop was launched with a
good number of foreigners being deported, top of the list was top Nigerian businessman
Anthony Chinedu; something that did not go well with the Nigerian government
leading to a several days detention of Kenyan officials that were executing the
deportations. The Kenyans have since been released but business between the two
countries remains shaky and uncertain. However, a few Nigerian businessmen have
shown goodwill and desire to invest in the country, that including Africa’s
richest man Aliko Dangote who has shown keen interest in the Kenya’s mining
sector.
