Nacada chairman Stephen Mairori has said the authority is looking into measures that will generate bigger sanctions for those selling illicit brews.
Mairori who was speaking to Citizen TV on Monday said the current fines meted out to those engaging in the sale of illicit liquor are not doing enough to curb the vice.
“I think we need to have more punitive penalties and this is something we’re looking at because when people feel they can go pay a small fine and go away that doesn’t help. We’ll look at that entire thing,” Mairori said.
The chairman lauded police officers who have been active in combating the illicit brew trade saying their efforts have been instrumental.
He cautioned any officers who are in cahoots with those selling illicit liquor to stop such alliances.
“We want to tell all our officers, we all have children and this is a country we love, we want to have a country of healthy people, we want a working nation, please lets all help, this is a war that we must win,” he said.
Mairori said Nacada is currently engaging in a multisectoral approach in the fight against illicit brews.
“We have KRA involved, we have KEBS, we have the police, county commissioners and their teams so we want all of us to work together to win this war,” Mairori said.
