CHIEF AND HIS ASSISTANT INTERDICTED OVER ILLICIT BREWING.

JANE MUGAMBI 25TH OCT 2011.

A chief and his assistant have been interdicted by the Central Regional Commissioner Anne Ng’etich over illicit brews.

Kanyekiini administrators were interdicted after 10,000 liters of makabo were found in an abandoned house in Mukinduri village in Kirinyaga Central district.

Reading the interdiction letters at Mukinduri catholic grounds, Mrs. Ng’etich said that Lawrence Munyi and Andrew Koori have since ceased from being the administrators of the said area.

“Macharia Munyi and Andrew Koori are not working for you wananchi since you know that there has been brewing of makabo in the area for a very long time that needed to be controlled” added the regional commissioner.

She said that Central has witnessed deaths and the whole country is astonished with the crisis that is in the region.

The administrator added that there should not be any hesitant while dealing with drunkard ness in the region.

“We should not hesitate while dealing with drunkard ness in the region, many lives have been lost to illicit brews in Central” added Mrs. Ng’etich.

The Regional PC added that the law has to be followed by all administrators in curbing the rising brewing of the illicit brew saying that there are also finding a long lasting solution of making sure that second generation brews are never manufactured saying that they are a disaster.

Area Councillor John Kibara said that for a very long time political interference has seen very many chiefs and their assistants interdicted in the area ruling out that there is a politician who is behind the whole issue since the chief has been doing his work well.

She also said that political interference should not bee seen as the main cause of the interdiction of the two administrators.

“Politics should not be brought in the issue, it was evident that 10,000liters were in the market on Sunday ready to be sold to people, as the administration we are working to make sure that the Rapid response initiative which has given them 100 days is effected” added the PC.

She said that it is action that is being taken against the administrators adding that whoever is going home is not due to a politician but due to his won failure to act.

“Whoever is going home will have called for the sacking, how comes a PC can raid the area without the chief and his assistant being aware of the brews” she added.
