Today the British High Commission Home Office International Operations Director Mr Nick Fowler led a delegation of his officers in a courtesy call to the Director DCI Mr Mohamed I. Amin, where the two heads discussed areas of cooperation in fighting trafficking of narcotics.

In a brief meeting held at the DCI Boardroom, Mr Fowler expressed concern that the narcotics underworld remained a threat to global peace, citing cocaine and heroine as the most trafficked globally. In that regard, he called upon all concerned agencies to share intelligence and

endeavour to break the supply chain at the points of origin.

To boost the DCI's Anti-Narcotics Unit's capacity to detect peddlers, the guests donated two portable X-ray scanners, for use in mobile operations on such places as houses and offices, vehicle cabins and compartments,

suitcases, walls and underneath carpets to detect concealed drugs.

Thanking the British High Commission for being reliable partners in security matters, Mr Amin assured the delegation that the Directorate was flexing its muscles on the traffickers, with the previously acquired

body scanners coming in handy in detecting peddlers at the ports.

Mr Amin further expressed optimism in the multi-agency approach that the Kenyan security teams have adopted, saying that basic investigation training on all the players would further boost the country's capacity

to suppress offenders.

Mr Fowler was accompanied by his assistant Mr Richard Lloyd, the Regional Manager Ms Tara Moore, Country Manager Mr Matt Jenkins and Ms Rani Matharu.
