Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has ordered a crackdown on illicit alcohol and drugs in Kiambu County.
Speaking while inaugurating a new assistant county commissioner’s office at Cianda Ward in Kiambaa, Kindiki (pictured left) said illicit brews were threatening to wipe out generations, particularly in Central Kenya and other regions.
The CS also directed security officers in the county to arrest all illegal immigrants who have been camping at various centres, especially in Ruaka area, and take them to court.

“We will not relent in the war on illicit liquor and drugs and I am fully committed to ending the menace that has left most families in the Central Kenya region in pain,” said Kindiki who was accompanied by Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi and area MP Njuguna Kawanjiku.
Kindiki said he had listed terrorism, illegal drinks and drugs as well as the insecurity situation in northern part of the country occasioned by cattle rustling as a serious threat to Kenya’s stability.
He ordered administration and security agencies to initiate operations meant to contain the menace and restore the future of the youth who are the most vulnerable.
