'Licensing brewers helped stem abuse' Kakamega Commissioner says

Deputy Kakamega County Commissioner Mongo Chimwanga has said the licensing of busaa and vigilance by sub-chiefs have helped stem the sale of illicit brews.

Three years ago, the assembly passed the Alcoholic Drinks Bill 2013, which set up an sub-county Alcoholic Drinks Regulation Committee, which monitors, licenses and controls sale of alcohol in the biggest rural county.
