Government Officials Launch Crackdown on Illegal Clinics, Audit Student Turnout, and Urge Anti-Drug Fight

Kenya's Minister of Health, Aden Duale, has launched a crackdown on unregistered and fraudulent medical clinics, establishing a special unit to combat unqualified practitioners. Separately, the Kenyan government has ordered a nationwide student audit to investigate why thousands of Grade 10 students have not reported to school. This action comes after the Ministry of Interior and National Administration acknowledged that only 60% of the expected students have enrolled. In another initiative, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has called upon church leaders and community members in Nandi to spearhead anti-drug campaigns. Murkomen also emphasized the responsibility of parents in monitoring their children’s activities.
