NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 5 – Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has reiterated that all manufacturers of alcoholic drinks that are sold in Kenya will undergo a fresh round of vetting.
Speaking at Nyambari, in Lari Constituency Kiambu County, Kindiki said the move is informed by a spike in alcoholic drinks that are harmful to people.
“We have therefore said that all manufacturers of alcoholic drinks in Kenya, regardless of the type of alcohol they produce, will undergo fresh vetting. Their licences will be reviewed afresh, one by one, to ensure that they comply with the health and other quality standards set by the Government of Kenya,” the DP said.
