Defence Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has been put on the spot after his comments on shisha. 

In a statement via his X account on Saturday, December 23 night, Duale said shisha users must face the law as the substance was banned in Kenya since 2017.

“Shisha addicts must face the law, as it is illegal in Kenya since 2017. Law enforcement agents must raid shisha dens,” Duale stated.

This comes after the officers from the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) on Friday raided a shisha joint in Kimani, arresting 25 people and confiscating 117 shisha bongs.
