The government on Thursday interdicted 52 officers including two chief executive officers, deputy county commissioner, OCPDs and heads of intelligence in five countries where illicit alcohol has so far claimed 81 lives.

Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Coordination Joseph Ole Lenku said that it would not be business as  among government officers in dealing with illicit alcohol. 

Mr Ole Lenku said National Authority for Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse chief executiveDr William Okedi  and the head of the anti-counterfeit agency are  responsible  for standards and regulations of the industry.
