Two breweries in Gatundu South, which had seen National Authority for Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (Nacada) Chairman John Mututho and Chief Executive Officer William Okedi lock horns, were on Saturday razed by residents.

Led by their MP Moses Kuria, the angry residents stormed Croton Herbal and Pure Real Herbal Ltd in Wamwangi and Munyui-ini respectively and set them ablaze.
