[PHOTOS] Kindiki meets licenced alcohol manufacturers

As part of stakeholder engagement, the Ministry of Interior on Tuesday met manufacturers and players in the alcohol industry, regulators and other government agencies.

The meeting was chaired by Interior CS Kithure Kindiki and took place at the General Service Unit(GSU) Training School, Embakasi.

In the meeting, the CS made it clear that measures announced by the Government last week on the eradication of illicit liquor and narcotic drugs are irreversible and non-negotiable.

The 25-point policy and operational guidelines are not a declaration of war with businesses, enterprises, revenue collection or science but are meant to conclusively deal with the menace of poisonous and toxic substances that are destroying lives and hurting the future of our Country.

The meeting was also attended by Principal Secretaries; Raymond Omollo (Internal Security and National Administration), Dr Juma Mukhwana (Industrialisation), Mary Muthoni (Public Health).

Also, Inspector-General of the National Police Service Japhet Koome, GSU Commandant Eliud Lagat, Kenya Revenue Authority Commissioner General Humphrey Wattanga, and National Authority for the Campaign Against Drug Abuse (NACADA) CEO Anthony Omerikwa were in attendance.
