Bar owners in Murang’a county have urged the government to provide retailers with a list of licensed brews they can stock in their premises.
This in a bid to support the state in its relentless fight against killer brews
The entrepreneurs who held a meeting at a Murang’a hotel said they fully support the continuing efforts by the government in the war against illicit brews, noting that one of the ways the government can make strides in eradicating the illicit brews is by providing them with a list of all alcoholic brands that have been tested and deemed safe for consumption in Kenya.
The patron of the bar owners’ association in the county, James Waweru, said that they welcomed the move by the government to suspend the licenses of all manufactures of second and third generation alcoholic brews saying it was a step in the right direction.
Waweru, however, said that as bar owners they want the government to go a step further and licence the various products independently, then share publically the list of all licensed brands.
