Speaking in Nyeri County  at the (National Police College, Kiganjo)  where he was presiding the pass out of the cadet officers, the president directed a ban on all trade (export and local) trade of scrap metals with immediate effect.

This comes days after vandalism reported in KPLC that lead the high voltage tower beams to collapse plunging the whole nation (Kenya)  into hours of black out. The order which had no expiry date will see many traders remain confused and remain hungry, as police  were demanded to be on high alert.

Uhuru, further warned that whoever found culpable will dance to the tunes of the law as he termed the crime punishable to that of treason. however, this directive received mixed reaction by citizens who instead asked the president to address more pressing issues like "THE RIVER YALA BODIES" while others seconded him and termed the ban as necessary as the country had seen people vandalize national infrastructure only to benefit themselves only. 

Kenyans and keen to see measures taken to impose the ban fully as a section of of them are tired of government projects being vandalized.
