DCI Reveals How It Determines Value of Drugs After Arrests

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) employs a structured process to estimate the value of seized drugs during arrests. This process begins with the physical weighing of substances, followed by an assessment based on the current market value of drugs in the illicit market. A scientific analysis is then conducted to confirm the type and purity of the drugs, which can influence charges and penalties under Kenya's narcotics laws.
