On Tuesday, August 15, officers of the Anti-Narcotics Unit and the Trans National Organised Crime Unit conducted an operation that resulted in the recovery of a large amount of cannabis sativa and a substantial sum of Sh13.4 million in cash.

Kenyans on Twitter were horrified by the finding, with some claiming to know the woman they called "Mathe wa Ngara".
Other Kenyans, however, pointed out a disparity between the National Police Service (NPS) and the DCI, claiming that the NPS reported the sum as Sh12.9 million while the DCI reported it as Sh13.4 million.
