• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that this problem is not just confined to Nyeri County. It is a countrywide problem. We have instructed the police, the chief and assistant chiefs to make sure that they crack down on illicit brews within their areas of operation. Within the performance contracts that the DOs and the DCs signed, we agreed with them that they will make sure that no local brews will be brewed within their localities.

Let us join the efforts and go out there and destroy the local brews that affect the families. view

• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a genuine concern. We will try to look for funds and constitute a committee or body to go round the country. That is because the problem is not just within Nyeri County. It is widespread. So, once we get funds, we will constitute a committee to go round the country. view
