Angry residents have set fire to five homes owned by a notorious chang’aa brewer in Molo, Nakuru County.
This incident comes in the wake of the death of a 43-year-old man, who was reportedly involved in a confrontation at her den.
In an interview with a local radio station, community leaders, including Pastor Joel Too and former councillor Paul Tessot, voiced their anger over the persistent violence associated with the brewer’s business.
The father of the deceased criticized local chiefs for neglecting the community’s concerns.
Residents have claimed that despite their repeated complaints, law enforcement has not taken any action against the brewer.
“We are astonished that she is still in business; lives have been lost, and now we feel compelled to take matters into our own hands,” he stated.
The area chief and his deputy declined to comment following the destruction of the properties, which included the brewer’s residence.
Last year, two brothers were reportedly killed during a confrontation involving a gang that serves as her security.
Molo OCPD Tim Odingo has stated that he will look into the situation.
