Gachagua Reveals Concerns After Kenyan Men Failed to Show up for Gov’t Jobs: Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has revealed the challenges President William Ruto’s government faced as a result of the increased cases of alcoholism in the country when the regime took over.
Gachagua remarked that when they took over, almost all shops in trading centres across the country were licensed liquor stores. Other county governments were encouraging the sale of illicit liquor.
“We reached a point where we could not get young people to work. We had some work to murram some roads but some did not show up. Those who came left once they were paid,” he stated.
He further added that some of these jobs were in the end given out to women and young girls in the community.
He noted that the Kenya Kwanza government was committed to ending the sale and production of illicit trade in the country especially in the Central region.
He stated,”President William Ruto in his wisdom asked to lead the battle from the front and curb illicit brew and countering drug abuse. I must say we have done a lot of work,”
