Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) is set to start brewing its low-end beer, Senator Keg, at its Sh15 billion factory in Kisumu following a successful test-run yesterday.

The brewer is seeking to widen dominance in the local market and edge out illicit brews with the commissioning of the plant whose refurbishment began a year ago.
