National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) chairman Stephen Mairori has said the authority is seeking to implement stricter measures that will generate bigger sanctions for those selling illicit brews.
Speaking during an interview with Citizen TV, Mairori said the existing measures are not as effective and need revision.
“I think we need to have more punitive penalties, and this is something we’re looking at because when people feel they can go pay a small fine and go away that doesn’t help. We’ll look at that entire thing,” Mairori said.

The NACADA chairman further recognized the police officers working towards combating the sale of the illicit brew, warning those working with the sellers.
“We want to tell all our officers, we all have children, and this is a country we love, we want to have a country of healthy people, we want a working nation, please let’s all help, this is a war that we must win,”
“We have KRA involved, we have KEBS, we have the police, county commissioners and their teams so we want all of us to work together to win this war,” Mairori said.
