Keroche Breweries, the largest wholly locally-owned brewing company in Kenya, commends and supports the President's call to fight illicit brews. The company has been at the forefront in fighting illicit brews since inception in 1997.
However, looking at what has been happening recently, particularly with the intimidation of many legitimate businesses, the infringement of their rights, the huge losses suffered through the destruction of property, equipment and legitimate products — and with Kenyans losing their jobs and livelihoods as a result — it would be unfair and hypocritical of me not to come out and try to shed light on the issue.
