Thika MP Alice Ng’ang’a has vowed to spearhead the fight against brewing and make sure that President Uhuru Kenyatta’s directive requiring Members of Parliament from central Kenya to curb illicit brewing is realised.
Speaking to journalists at her Thika office on Wednesday, Nga’ng’a said she will work with the police and other administrators in the constituency to stem out brewers.
The MP who asked the public to give information on the whereabouts of brewers said that illicit brewers have nowhere to run to.
The MP said a crackdown on illicit brewers is under way and the menace will be tamed.
“I will personally lead the illicit brew crackdown with the help of the police and make sure that brewers are flushed out,” she said.
The MP said several litres of illegal brews have been impounded in the constituency and the perpetrators will start appearing before court soon.
She also said police are hunting down people suspected to be supplying illegal liquor in the constituency.
