The government through the Ministry of Interior and National Administration on Wednesday announced measures to curb illicit brew, drug, and substance abuse in the country.
This comes a few days after over 20 people died from the consumption of illicit alcohol in Kirinyaga County.
According to Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki, the use of illicit brews, drugs and substance abuse majorly among teenagers, the youth and even the elderly, is now not only a grave social concern but also a threat to the wellbeing and sustainable future of the country.
Kindiki directed that all distilleries not within the list of those allowed to operate be shut down in 10 days.
