Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has delivered a stern warning to sellers of harmful alcoholic beverages, declaring that their days of operating in Kenya are numbered. Speaking in Limuru Constituency, Kindiki asserted that the government will not tolerate the presence of any individual peddling poisonous drinks under the guise of alcohol.
He emphasized the intensified efforts against such illicit activities, vowing that no one will remain untouched as the government ensures the safety of every Kenyan from consuming harmful substances. Kindiki's warning came during a visit to Limuru Milk Processing Plant Grounds, where he distributed milk coolers to various dairy cooperative societies in Kiambu County.
He highlighted the success of his previous interventions in battling terrorism and banditry, drawing parallels between the two battles and the current fight against illicit alcohol traders. Kindiki further announced that authorities would conduct inspections of manufacturing premises to ensure compliance with quality and public health standards before the products reach the market.
Kiambu County received 13 coolers, valued at 98.14 million shillings, out of the 227 distributed nationwide. This distribution aims to reduce milk wastage, enhance processing, and provide farmers with additional income. Kindiki also addressed the concerns of Kiambu residents, urging them to remain united and emphasizing that incitement and violence are unacceptable, regardless of political motivations.
