Speaking while chairing the meeting at County Secretary’s boardroom, Acting Chief Officer for Administration Ms. Florence Lagat stated that there is a need to root out the consumption of alcoholic drinks in the County. She called on the law enforcers to be professional while discharging their duties as this will help the county to win the battle against illicit brew.

Our frontline warriors against this menace should be uniformed to minimize vices during the exercise. We should also keep our ward administrators informed of the crackdown against peddlers in their jurisdictions”, said Lagat.
