He said the country has lost nearly half of its youths to drugs, adding that his government will not watch as the menace continues ravaging the country. He said the dealers of illegal alcohol will be dealt with adding that consumers will have to follow the rules or ship out.
“Hii pombe haramu nataka niwatangazie mapema kwamba tutaizima. Hawa watu wote wanaotengeneza pombe chafu inayoumiza wanainchi wawe vipofu, wazee kulala barabarani hatuwezi kukubali. Pombe itangja ama itazama,” Ruto said.
