Police caught three people making illegal alcohol in Kawangware's Congo area on Monday morning. They found 2,000 liters of chang'aa along with copper distilling equipment. Officers destroyed 9,000 more liters of alcohol at the location. A video shows them examining plastic bags inside a dirty storage place.
The group faces charges for making an illegal brew. Two men and one woman remain at the Capitol Hill police station. This happened just two weeks after authorities arrested five others in Kisii South during a similar raid where they seized 55,500 liters of illegal drinks.
Kithure Kindiki recently named illicit alcohol a top national security threat. This means the government considers fighting these substances very important. Last December, Nacada worked with police on another raid in Meru. They want to stop these dangerous, unregulated drinks that harm public health.
Nicholas Kosgey from Nacada asked communities to help report illegal brewing. People can call the free helpline 1192 with information about suspicious activities. The authority believes everyone must work together to protect neighborhoods from these harmful brews.
