Killer brews back on the shelves as officials trade in blame game

North Rift, Kenya: With the number of people dying from intoxicated liquor in the North Rift on the rise, no specific Government agency has taken charge to avert further loss of life.

Last month, 28 people died from alcohol intoxication while more than 50 others were hospitalised with optical complications, back, chest and stomach pains after consuming alcohol laced with methanol. By mid-July, 15 people, including a banker, a laboratory technician and an assistant chief, had succumbed to   adulterated liquor in Nandi County.
