i dare say

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'quite possibly' is the definition.
('I dare say' is said before making a prediction)

'kenya's eradicated westbound smuggling' is the wordplay.
'I DARE SAY' is hidden backwards within the letters.
However, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for i dare say that I've seen before include "One would think" , "It's possible" , "Maybe" , "Quite possibly" , "It is probable" .)
