Illicit Brew- Do you want to finish our people?


It has become the song of Kenyans and every now and then we have been hearing of it. Illicit Brew. This has become a killer in this generation and it is not only affecting our young men but old too. The most amazing thing is that government know about this, village elders knows, the headmen and the chief are very much aware of every of such activities which goes on day in day out in our villages. Leave a lone them but the drunkards are also aware of this killer drink, they have witnessed what it does but the question is, who bewitched us?
 
After seeing on the televisions, hearing from the radios, hearing from people and even witnessing our people continued to drink without worry. Is it a spirit or it is ignorance of people that they could go, buy and drink? What of the people who are selling this brew? The most amazing thing is that some of them know what they are selling to Kenyans and they don’t mind on what may happen there after.

Sometime back we used to hear of these guys who used to make brews at home and it never caused any harm as of today. What we are seeing and hearing is too much and the pain of seeing Kenyans die for a reason of ignorance and making money is too much for us to bear. The news of this brew ran throughout the week and it was spreading everywhere in the world bringing shame to our beautiful motherland that we are so much proud of. 

This issue has to be controlled by us as people who live with the brewers and those who drink. It is high time to expose this people and have them get another business to do that can benefit the society. Otherwise this thing should get a higher fine for anyone who is in such business and if someone is not qualified in doing this business the government should not license them. 

When Mister Mututho brought the law to control alcohol drinking it worked in some places while in others people still go on with drinking from as early as 6 a.m. This shows that the men in charge of these villages are not effective and they cannot make the alcohol bill effective. This is being less concerned on what is going on in the lives of people. 




Now, who do we blame? The government? Though the government has a role to play in this we cannot put the blame on them. It all goes to the people who brew this thing and the people who know of its existence. This is because they can easily control it and this is where the government can be involved and take control from there. Otherwise this killer brew will always be there to bring disgrace and pain in our country. We need to see people arise and join hands to fight this. These people are you, me and your neighbor. Let us rescue our generation.
