Locals on Tuesday evening held a demonstration in Salgaa center, Nakuru County, over the death of two people in a local pub after suspected consumption of illicit brew.
According to Rongai Sub-county police commander Wilberforce Sacharani, the first unknown body was found early Tuesday morning, and the second victim succumbed in the evening following chest congestion.
On his part, Salgaa Business community chairperson Livingstone Sawe and former Salgaa civic leader Joshua Cheruiyot said that the first person, who is an unknown male, lost his life early in the morning before another lady lost her life in the evening in the same pub.
“It is shocking that even after the death of the person in the morning, they still went ahead with their business unfazed.”
He alleges that the owner of the pub has numerous bars around, and they believe he trades in dangerous alcohol.
