A brave contingent of Administration police officers in Nyahururu district yesterday July 13 poured more than 15,000 litres of chang’aa and busaa in Maina village and Igwamiti location in the district during a major police swoop on Illicit brews led by AP boss in the area Daniel Masaba.
Masaba said that the crackdown started this week and will continue until the brewers put up with the required health standards, since chang’aa was legalized by the government late last year. He added that the brewers should process and pack the brews as stipulated by the law, adding that they ambushed the brewers after getting a tip off from the members of the public
This followed after four middle aged men one aged 32 who died two days ago after consuming the illicit brew in the District in the last one month
The area DC, Lucy Mulili, commended the officers for the good work and said that her office was dedicated to have illegal brews in the area eradicated.
She said that there is still a case pending in the liquor court about the issuing of licenses to operate which is setting the illegal brewers free when taken to court, but they are waiting for the gazettement of its ruling in order to give approvals.
She urged members of the public to embrace community policing adding that it’s an effective way of maintaining security in the interior area.
