DP Gachagua opens a 3- day forum at Naivasha on ending illicit brew.
The second in command, DP Gachagua opens a 3- day forum at Naivasha on ending illicit brew; He stated that illicit brew has made the nation go in a retrospective way.
In attendance was MCAs, senators, investigative agencies, prosecutors, legal drafters, the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) and the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS).
He stated,”The fight against illicit brews, drugs, and substance abuse has been hampered by the lack of effective and conflicting laws in our counties.”
Others present were Anti-Counterfeit Agency and other stakeholders from Kiambu, Murang’a, Nyandarua, Kirinyaga and Nyeri counties.
Gachagua added,”The consultative forum will come up with uniform laws to guide the fight against illicit brews and substance abuse.”
The main objective is saving the region, as the young generation, which mainly indulges in illicit and sub- standard alcohol, with risks of death.
He stated,”You have information on where the illicit brew is prepared. The National Government Administration Officers and police commanders must convene a meeting on Monday (April 17) and within a week shut down those dens permanently. You must ensure they do not reopen.”
