Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho on Wednesday sacked four chiefs in Kiambu County for failing to tame manufacture of illegal alcohol in their areas.
The administrators: Chief Peter Waweru Kihurunjo of Gachie Location and Harrison Njoroge Gicheru Assistant Chief Karuri Sub-location were given the orders to vacate office at a public baraza in the area.
Kibicho then proceeded to Gatundu South where Ha Ndege Location Chief Francis Muturi Kariuki and Githuya Assistant Chief Joseph Kariuki Mwangi were also dismissed.
They were paraded and stripped of their official caps and shoulder epaulets in public.
Kibicho also warned Ndumberi illicit brewers that their days are numbered.
Calling each of them by name, Kibicho said they are criminals and the government will not allow them to destroy families.
“The fight against illicit killer brews is a concerted effort where the public and all arms of the government join hands to protect the future of our youths who are being destroyed by criminals manufacturing and selling these poisonous drinks,” said the PS.
