Abstract: On May 30, 2018, police in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, arrested three men suspected to have been part of a group selling illicit brews in Munyaka estate and its environs. This was after security officers netted more than 300 sachets of illicit liquor-simba waragi- believed to have been smuggled from Uganda. The consignment was impounded at a house in the estate. Police also impounded a motorbike used to supply the liquor. The Daily Nation has since established that some unscrupulous traders have devised new ways of sneaking in the illicit brews.
