Police Bust Cartel Using ARVs to Make Alcohol

 Police in Isiolo County arrested a group of people that are accused of using antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) and conventional medicine to make illicit brew.


During the raid led by Isiolo Deputy Commissioner Keffa Marube, a concoction of medicines was discovered inside entertainment joints.


The administrator further revealed that the illicit brew traders use ARVs and painkillers while making the banned liquor.

Marube, who led the operation, stated that locals are receiving treatment in various hospitals due to the complications arising from consuming alcohol that is laced with conventional medicines.


Police warned locals that the concoctions were putting their lives in danger and drew examples from an incident in Nakuru where five people succumbed after consuming illicit liquor that was laced.


Officers who mounted the crackdown in Isiolo stated that they had nabbed over 300 litres during the operation and vowed to arrest traders engaged in the business.


"They are using ARVs which they put in this rubbish they have made and they also add painkillers and medication that is used to treat high blood pressure.


"Anyone who takes this type of alcohol is not ok. Help the officers and tell them where the illegal alcohol is being brewed. I've heard there are people who have been labelled as untouchable, I want to assure them that they are not untouchable," he stated.
