Meru drinks Sh4 billion alcohol, says Mututho

Nacada Chairman John Mututho

Meru residents consume Sh4 billion worth of alcohol annually, most of it illegal, the National Agency for Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse Chairman John Mututho has said.

Speaking in the town yesterday, Mututho said President Uhuru Kenyatta’s directive to battle illegal brews had proved hard especially because chiefs, MPs and other local leaders were not committed.
