In the description, you will note that there is denatured ethyl alcohol which should be taxed at Kshs175 per litre. One litre can be divided to half or quarter litres. This will give the illicit brewers an opportunity to imitate. They imitate and make these quarters and the youth think they are taking spirits of a particular brand. I am not very good with the brands but at least I know there is one that is as clear as water. So the youth consume it thinking it is a genuine one but it is an imitation.
