Kikuyu residents protest illicit alcohol sales

Residents of Kikuyu, Kiambu County, staged a demonstration, blocking the Kikuyu-Dagoretti Road and storming several bars accused of selling illicit and unregulated second-generation alcohol. The protesters said they would not allow rogue bar owners to continue selling the illicit brews, which they claim have claimed at least 10 lives so far. The latest case involved a young man who died on his way home after leaving one of the bars.
