Government vows crackdown on gangs and illicit brews

The government is raising an alarm over the resurgence of criminal gangs in central Kenya. Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, who kicked off The Central Kenya Jukwaa la usalama in Kiambu county, accuses politicians from the region OF being behind the funding of the gangs, to destabilize the government, as witnessed in June and July, when government installations were torched and businesses ransacked. The government has also begun a 100-day crackdown on liquor manufacturers, suspected of being behind the return of illicit and counterfeit liquor, in the region.
