The dead had been consuming the illegal brew all this while in the same dens, then some 'bright' Kenyan decides to make the brew more cheaply but more lethal and what do we have, more than 65 dead in different parts of the country!!!!! @McReggae, well said. Now duplicate our obsession with blame games and the same is replicated everywhere, including security, someone needs to answer the questions who are the killer (or is it brewers?) as well as the bombers. its sad that some are blaming the guys who were partaking in the drink, which is a packaged liquor legally sold. The brewers are to blame for this and if the prosecutors fail to go after them then they will also be to blame. I have a problem with that word. How legal was that liquor? Where was it registered as a safe-to-drink alcohol? Do they have a KEBS Cert? Do they pay tax? Greed kills. Greed has has killed them in their tens. Greed by the brewer. Brewer by the local administrator who has always looked the other way after something little. Greed by the road blocks past which the distributors pass when doing their deliveries. From what is going round, the drink in question is called countryman, its packaged in glass bottles and has the kebs sticker, and while I know the same can be faked, lakini how can you drag the local administration or the cops at the road blocks and worse still the buyers of the same - liquor distribution and sale is not illegal and the kebs sticker is supposed to give the buyer assurance. If you listen to locals in the village, they will tell you who makes illegal brews and the chief knows them too. When they want to proof they are busy, the Chiefs will call NTV and a few APs to have a photo session as they raid the dens and pour the liquor. The culplits will be released once the cameras goes off. The partakers too are to blame. Spare me the poverty theory. Who ever died for not partaking? If one has to, why not save the 20bobs they spend daily and partake a clean stuff on weekends? Now they have abandoned their duties in their families and spends the whole day, whole week in those days. Results? No teeth, can't fulfill their wive's needs, smells like goats, can't raise a Jennette coz body shakes like a spoilt engine aaarrgggh. but were the drinks in this instance the 'local' illicit ones as far as the partakers were aware? it seems to me that the one who got caught this time were the once who upgraded from the 'local' deadly ones to what they saw as genuine and safe drinks (in branded package and with a kebs mark on them too). all these which were being sold to them with the apparent full knowledge of the relevant authorities.
