The fight against illicit brew in Nyeri County has taken a political turn as Mathira MP Eric Wamumbi directed the reopening of bars that had been closed for four months.

During a meeting with bar owners in Karatina town, Wamumbi emphasized his commitment to combating illicit brew but defended the bar owners, stating they are not involved in selling harmful alcohol.

“The bar owners have legitimate businesses and licenses from the county government; hence closing them down is unfair,” Wamumbi asserted.

He warned that the town’s economy was suffering due to the prolonged closure of bars.

Wamumbi pointed out that bars in Mukurwe-ini and Kirinyaga are operational, unlike those in Karatina and Mathira.

“I respect the Deputy President but will not allow business people to be harassed under my watch,” he added.

His directive came after Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua expressed disappointment on Sunday over the MP’s decision to allow the previously closed bars to reopen amid the ongoing crackdown on illicit brews.
