Deputy President Kithure Kindiki says illicit alcohol has been classified among top threats to Kenya’s existence, revealing more stringent measures being rolled out to curb the menace.
Owing to the reclassification of the harmful drinks, Prof. Kindiki said the Office of the Deputy President is coordinating national response to ensure effectiveness of the new measures.
“We have classified this matter as among the top three threats to Kenya’s future. This alcohol menace can wipe out all the gains we have made as a country.
This time round we are focused to make sure we complete the journey successfully. We are not fighting against businesses nor against the industry. We are just protecting the nation from collapse. No person will be allowed to benefit from the destruction of Kenyans, especially young people,” DP stated.
