Nacada clarifies position on Keroche products

By ANTONY GITONGA

The National Authority for Campaigns against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (Nacada) has clarified that it has not blocked Keroche Breweries products from the market as alleged by a section of the Press.

The authority’s chairman, John Mututho, denied that they were targeting the locally owned brewery in the ongoing war against illicit liquor.

The move comes a day after Nacada listed all the approved liquor and breweries in the country but failed to record those from Keroche.

In a phone interview, Mututho said the list published in the dailies was not final, adding that vetting of the documents and products was still going on.

“As far as I am concerned, Keroche products are among the top in the county in terms of quality and quantity and we have no reason to fight the company,” he said.
