The Uasin Gishu county government has initiated a support program targeting close to over 300 reformed brewers in the first phase.
According to Uasin Gishu County Director Alcoholic Drinks Control Board, Koiya Arap Maiyo, Most of the reformed brewers will be supported to venture into alternative businesses to earn a genuine livelihood.
“Soon the Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii will officially launch the livelihood support program for the reformed brewers , the governor is keen to see continued livelihood support to families that largely depended on the sale of illicit brews in the various parts of the county,” Said Maiyo.
My department is focusing on rescuing and rehabilitating those who have been engaged in the illegal brew after destroying the businesses they have been depending on –this will ensure that the fight against illicit brew is sustainable. Added Maiyo.
