State suspends several officers over Nakuru killer brew
Government has suspended several officers after 10 people succumbed to illicit brew at Hodi Hodi area in Bahati, Nakuru County.
Rift Valley Regional Commissioner George Natembeya said those interdicted include chiefs, their assistants, deputy county commissioner and sub-county police commander.
"The government policy is not to transfer underperforming officers, but interdict them. This is the first step before one is fired," Natembeya said.
