Kabete MP Ferdinand Waititu has put local chiefs said to be abetting illicit brewers on notice.
Addressing residents at Kabete trading centre on Tuesday, Waitutu said that stern action will be taken against chiefs allegedly working and hiding illicit brewers.
Waititu noted that he has received complaints from members of the public on the matter and vowed to follow it up.
“Let it be known clearly that I will not work with or tolerate local administrators allegedly supporting illicit brewers,” he said.
The Kabete MP observed that illicit brew makers and sellers will be hunted down and action taken against them.
Waititu urged local administrators to mend their ways and help the government curb the practice that has consumed the lives of many.
The MP at the same time urged residents to keep off illicit brews saying that it will destroy their lives and families.
Elsewhere, police in Thika have launched a search for the owner of a home where 10,000 litres of illicit brew were impounded on Saturday.
Police raided the home in Chania on Saturday night after receiving a tip off from the public and destroyed the brew.
However the owner of the home is said to have escaped after seeing the police.
This comes as Kiambu Public Service Board Chairman Dominic Gicheru vowed to take legal action against illicit brewers in the area.
In a statement to the media on Sunday, Gicheru said mechanisms have been put in place to deal with illicit brewers.
