Your days are numbered, we are coming for you, Kindiki warns illicit alcohol sellers

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has issued a stern warning to individuals selling harmful alcoholic beverages, declaring that they will face arrest and accountability for endangering the lives of Kenyans. Kindiki emphasized that the government has intensified its efforts to combat these harmful drinks, asserting that no one will be spared in the mission to prevent Kenyans from being exposed to poison disguised as alcohol.

Speaking in Limuru Constituency on Friday, Kindiki, a former Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary, vowed that those involved in peddling poisonous drinks would meet the same fate as terrorists and bandits he previously fought against in Lamu and Northern Kenya. During his visit to Limuru Milk Processing Plant Grounds, Kindiki distributed milk coolers to dairy cooperative societies, revealing that 227 such coolers have been distributed nationwide to aid in milk processing and value addition, thus protecting farmers from losses due to wastage.

Over 21, 500 dairy farmers will benefit from this initiative, saving 15.7 million liters of milk annually, equivalent to a potential loss of 769 million shillings. Kindiki urged Kenyans, particularly those in Mount Kenya, to remain united and avoid incitement and violence, emphasizing that such actions are criminal and unacceptable.
