The Government has finalised legislative proposals that will tighten enforcement on manufacturers, distributors and enablers of ethanol and drug cartels that are supplying dangerous chemical-laced alcoholic drinks to members of the public.
Speaking during a high level security meeting in Karen, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki said during the last 10 days, intelligence led multi agency operations have made nine successful illicit ethanol raids and 116 other raids on illicit brews made without following public health and quality standards.
Similarly, he noted that coordination among regulatory and enforcement agencies has been enhanced, and a framework of engaging local communities in this fight is set to be released next week.
