The National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) and the Judiciary have partnered to train magistrates and judicial officers on effectively managing substance use disorders as part of a renewed national effort against drug and alcohol abuse.

• The training aims to enhance the capacity of the criminal justice system to identify, assess, and manage substance use disorders.
• Key organizations involved include NACADA and the Judiciary.
• This initiative supports President William Ruto's directive to treat alcohol and drug abuse as a national emergency, shifting focus towards rehabilitation alongside punitive measures.
