100 charged with flouting Mututho laws

By Standard Reporter

Some 100 people have been arraigned at the Kapsabet Court since Monday on alcohol-related charges.

These follow the weekend police operations in Nandi Central Sub-county where more than 100 bar owners and illicit brew manufacturers and users were arrested.

The operations were meant to weed out operators who are flouting the law.

Offenders were slapped with fines ranging from Sh2,500 to Sh100,000 each or alternative sentences of jail terms ranging from three to 12 months.
