Eight dead in Nakuru days after raise in taxes on cheap alcohol. More taxes on the way.

Consumers will pay Sh5.77 more for a litre of beer while the prices for spirits will rise highest at Sh13.20.

The usual bullshit criminal approach - arrests, destruction of livelihoods. Zero understanding of the effects of taxation, hustlers harassment prescriptions.

Meanwhile, Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui has called for the arrest of those involved in selling the illegal brew.

The county boss said such cases are on the rise within the devovled unit.

He also urged law enforcers to be vigilant and bring to book all those involved in the sale of unlicensed brews.

"It’s unfortunate that killer brews are back into the market and it’s upon the security agents to step up the fight against the illegal business," said Mr Kinyanjui.
