Police have seized 1,450 crates of beer valued at Kes 4 million in a depot in Karatina town in a renewed campaign to ban alcoholic products.
According to Mathira East Deputy County Commissioner Rodger Rusungu, the Couty Security Committee banned the brands identified as ‘Diamond’ and ‘Flying Horse’.
Rusungu said the security committee had established a high prevalence of counterfeiting for the two brands, prompting the decision to ban them.
The seizure comes amid a heightened campaign on unlicenced alcohol operations after twenty-three people died in Kirinyaga after consuming illicit alcohol.
