Alcohol trader wants Uhuru to pay for losses

A businessman whose property was destroyed by "hired goons" in the campaign against second-generation alcoholic drinks now wants compensation from the Government.

This comes as most traders claim that their rivals are taking advantage of President Uhuru Kenyatta's directive to destroy their businesses. On Wednesday last week, operations at the multi-billion-shilling Keroche Breweries were paralysed the whole day as the management thwarted an attempt to raid it. The company's CEO Tabitha Karanja said the move was a political war on the company.
