Kindiki insists on fresh vetting of alcohol manufacturers

NAIROBI, Kenya – Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has emphasized that all alcoholic beverage manufacturers operating in Kenya will undergo a new round of scrutiny. Addressing a crowd in Lari Constituency, Kiambu County, Kindiki explained the decision was prompted by a concerning increase in alcoholic drinks posing health risks. "Henceforth, every manufacturer of alcoholic drinks in Kenya, irrespective of the type of alcohol they produce, will undergo fresh vetting," he stated.

"Their licenses will be reviewed individually, ensuring strict adherence to the government's health and quality standards." Kindiki also expressed confidence in the nation's development progress, urging citizens not to be deterred by critics. "This road project is advancing at the speed of a miraa vehicle," he remarked, hinting at the project's swift completion.

"We will hand over the section between here and Naivasha by the end of next month. Subsequently, we will progress onto the Naivasha-Gilgil, Gilgil-Nakuru, and Nakuru-Mau Summit sections. This project will move forward swiftly — as swiftly as a miraa vehicle. Our focus should be on construction; let us construct," he asserted.
