Speeding vehicle carrying banned Muguka crashes in Kwale, killing two

The decedents, reports say, were transporting Muguka, despite a ban imposed on the stimulant in the coastal region.

Witnesses report the vehicle was going beyond the speed limit heading to Ukunda and Diani where the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle, rolling several times. 

Kwale County security department confirmed the accident, stating that further investigations will be launched to ascertain the cause of the crash. 

According to Kwale County's projects director and disaster coordinator, Chakaya Ronald, Kwale County has controlled the use of muguka by doubling the taxes.

The move has forced leading muguka traders to use alternative methods to conduct their business.
