• Health officials to help enforce smoking ban 

Public health officers will be involved in the enforcement of smoking regulations across the country.

Public Health and Sanitation Minister Beth Mugo said that already, 80 public health officers have been trained as public health prosecutors to strengthen their capacity to enforce the Tobacco Control Act (2007) among other public health statutes.

Mrs Mugo added that a continuing programme has been launched for tobacco enforcers and public health officers, police officers, among others, are involved.

She said that the training would ensure that all towns in the country are free from tobacco smoke.
