Drug suspects may stand trial in US

Daily Nation: - News |Drug suspects may stand trial in US: "Pressure is mounting on the government to try the prominent Kenyans accused of being involved in drug trafficking or risk having them stand trial in US courts.

Kenya has become a major conduit for drug and human trafficking, and America has said it is willing to partner with the country and provide investigators and, when necessary, consider the option of extradition to deter would-be traffickers, US Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg told the media in Nairobi on Thursday.

The US government is coming down hard on transnational drug and human trafficking gangs and Kenya is at the centre of the purge as America seeks to prosecute suspects it believes are involved in drug trafficking."
