Patiala Distillers Limited has demanded that Nyandarua Senator John Methu and Kiambu Senator Karungo Thang’wa retract statements linking the company to Deputy President Kithure Kindiki within 48 hours. The company issued a cease-and-desist demand through its lawyer, Danstan Omari, accusing the senators of falsely portraying Patiala as being owned, controlled, or operated by Kindiki.

Patiala rejects allegations of manufacturing, distributing, or selling counterfeit or illicit alcoholic products, describing the claims as defamatory and damaging to its reputation. The company maintains it operates as an independent commercial entity under the required licenses and permissions.
