Nacada chairman John Mututho has asked members of parliament to speed up amendments into the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act to ensure that the war on illicit brews is fully won.
According to the Former Naivasha MP the amendments on the Act popularly referred to as "Mututho law" would make it difficult for rogue liquor traders to conduct their business, which will be a great step toward the wining the war against illicit brews in the country.
“Let the MPs speed up the amendment process as this is the only way that the war on illegal brews in Kenya will be won” he said
Addressing Journalists in Naivasha Town, Mututho also noted that while the closing of breweries is one of the alternatives in dealing with the illicit brews, it would only bring a temporary solution to the problem adding that the war on brews needs a lasting solution.
“In as much as shutting down breweries is an option, this will only provide temporary solutions since new breweries will be set up with time and there will be no laws to control their activities. All that we need is a lasting solution to this problem,” Mututho Said
The Nacada chair has also said that the spread of illicit brew in the country has been partly contributed Kenya Bureau of Standards.
