MARIJUANA FARM DESTROYED IN KENYA

The authorities in Uganda have destroyed more than twenty hectares of land
under marijuana cultivation, during a narcotics raid in the district of
Busia along the Kenyan border.

Fourteen people have been arrested.

Villagers in the area said persistent drought had cut off the growth of
other crops and the poor soil could only grow the marijuana plant.

The operation followed meetings between narcotic officials of Kenya and Uganda
