One person died Sunday evening after a drinking spree in a bar in Elburgon, Molo constituency.
Five others are admitted at the Elburgon Nyayo hospital.
Confirming the incident, Elburgon assistant county commissioner Naftali Korir allayed fear that the victims had indulged in an illicit brew.
“They were in a local bar taking legal drinks. We suspect they overindulged and had not eaten,” Korir said.
The 10 youths had reportedly been working a site when their ‘employer’ was pleased with the work done and decided to ‘treat’ them.
They went to a local bar where booze was flowing and made fun. Unfortunately, their celebrations turned tragic.
Korir said the condition of those at the hospital has stabilized and doctors said they will be discharged today.
The ACC urged youths to shun alcoholism and wild celebrations this festive season that might put them into problems.
