"content": "the menace are the ones who assist in abetting the same. This is not only a problem in Central region. It is in public domain that a few months ago, in Eldoret Town which is in Uasin Gishu County, a person who is in charge of health education and an Assistant Chief died as a result of drinking illicit brew. This is the case and yet these are the people who are supposed to educate our people on the negative effects of alcohol. Instead, they have turned to join the people who are innocently not aware of the effects. Hon. Speaker, there are “billions” of cartels in this field. It is making one person very rich and making hundreds or thousands lie in the graves. So, it is a grave matter to the point that the President had to give this directive. Having said that and having confirmed that the public are very happy and have welcomed this move, a few people particularly, the factory owners, are coming up with allegations that their property has been destroyed. I can confirm that their property has not been destroyed in Nyandarua County. However, we found ourselves in a scenario where we could clearly see beer through a window because the owner had closed the house with a tricycle padlock costing Kshs250. We had no option other than to cut the tricycle padlock and remove the beer which caused the deaths of people. The lives of people are more costly than the tricycle padlock."
