In a move to intensify the battle against illicit brews, alcohol, and drug abuse, the government, as per the latest directives from Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki, has temporarily halted all licenses and certification permits for second-generation alcohol manufacturers and distillers. A thorough reevaluation process is set to be initiated.

Additionally, Mr. Kindiki has instructed county security teams to shut down bars and nightclubs situated in residential and school areas, citing the illegitimate issuance of their licenses. Stay tuned for further updates on this ongoing development.
