The Metropolitan Small and Medium Liquor Traders Association (MELTA) and Wanabiashara Caucus have expressed support for the government's new approach to tackling illicit brews and narcotic drugs, lauding the shift towards stakeholder collaboration as a step in the right direction.

In a statement, the two acknowledged the significant threat posed by illegal alcohol and narcotics to communities but raised concerns about previous efforts led by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
