Carrying tree wigs and chanting slogans, the women marched through the streets, culminating at the residence of a known brewer in the area. Their collective voice resonated with the gravity of the situation, highlighting the financial strain, domestic disputes, and overall decline in well-being they endure due to the prevalence of illegal brews.

“The decline in birth rates is a direct consequence of the effects of illegal brew on the men in our community,” remarked Lyne Kosgei, another protest leader. “When husbands are unable to fulfill their roles and responsibilities, it has a ripple effect on the entire family, including the ability to sire kids,” she further explained, emphasizing the far-reaching consequences of the issue.
