The government has banned the sale of molasses in Nairobi in the fight against illicit brews.“We don’t have livestock in Nairobi and I am certain the molasses sold here is used to make the brews,” regional commissioner Kang’ethe Thuku said. Molasses is used in the production of lethal brews, the administrator said.“Don’t take expired or fake alcohol because it will kill you. Recently, four people died after consuming illicit brew in Umoja and we will not allow that.”He ordered chiefs and their assistants to crack down on the brewers. He promised to talk with Nairobi governor Mike Sonko and some breweries’ management to revoke all licences for molasses. |
