"content": "The Ministry of Interior and National Administration recently launched a crackdown on illicit brews in the country, including the Coast Region, following a directive by the Cabinet. The nationwide measures have resulted in suspension of all licenses issued and closure of outlets selling alcohol and other brews. However, in the Coast Region, the crackdown has erroneously been extended to mnazi which is not an illicit brew."

"content": "It is a traditional drink that defines the heritage of the Giriama people. It is naturally tapped from coconut trees without any additives that can render it a manufacturable drink that can be subject to being declared illicit. Its erroneous classification as an illicit brew and the crackdown thereof has negatively affected and caused unrest among the people of Kilifi County who rely on it as a pillar of their economic mainstay."

"content": "It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on the following— 1. Under what circumstances did the Ministry classify mnazi as an illicit alcoholic drink, despite the known fact that it is a natural coastal drink tapped directly from coconut trees? 2. What measures has the government put in place to ensure preservation of culture, including the cultural heritage associated with the Mnazi drink and other traditional drinks, while implementing the crackdown on illicit brews? 3. What initiative has the Ministry undertaken to ensure compliance with the law and accurate implementation of the directive on illicit brews without favour or discrimination?"

"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to add my voice to this request for a Statement. Mnazi is not brewed. It is tapped from the palm trees. This is the purest drink you can ever find at the Coast. It is very nice. Long ago before the introduction of yeast, it used to be used as a fermenting element for mandazi. We should find a way of preserving it and supplying it to other parts of Kenya and even outside the country. It cannot be done away with."
