David Ndii Reveals He Can't Advise Gachagua on Mt Kenya Liquor Crackdown

President William Ruto’s Chief Economic Advisor, David Ndii, on Sunday, revealed that he will not advise Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on how to wage his war against illicit brew, specifically in Mt Kenya.

Ndii was speaking on the recent crackdown primarily targeting Mt Kenya counties which is being spearheaded by the Office of the Deputy President in conjunction with the Interior Ministry. 

Furthermore, he argued that the spread of illicit brews could be traced back to 1979 when the late President Daniel Moi banned traditional liquours. 

The problem is economic but its roots are demographic, geography and politics,” he explained. 

Responding to the post, a Kenyan asked, “Why don’t you advise the Deputy President to do the right thing?”

He explained that over 30,000 young Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in different parts of the country were in 1994 dumped in Kiambu and other Mt Kenya regions. 

He explained that due to that, the young Kenyans being homeless and unemployed resorted to cheap liquor.
