Why Gachagua is threatening to fire chiefs
Gachagua had previously ordered the police, the chiefs, and their deputies to work hard and produce results.
Administrators who are not prepared to carry out the mission will be fired, he has stated categorically.
As part of the ongoing nationwide crackdown, the government shut down at least 5,995 liquor stores in June.
According to the Ministry of Interior, the impacted properties were found guilty of major safety violations and partial compliance with key legislative criteria.
The ministry reported that 43,708 outlets had been evaluated, while 37,713 had been judged to be compliant and allowed to carry on with business as usual.
Rift Valley, where 23,735 liquor shops have been cleared, earned the highest compliance score.
With 5,708 and 3,315 respectively, the Eastern Region and Nairobi came in a distant second and third in that order.
There were 1,827 liquor establishments in the Central region, 1,217 in Nyanza, and 1,153 in the Western region that were deemed to be compliant.
Only 706 outlets in the Coast region were cleared, compared to 52 liquor establishments in the North Eastern region that were deemed compliant.
The DP asked the audience in Meru in July how many chiefs and assistant chiefs were there. There is no issue if we let go 10% of them. Some won’t follow our instructions, so we’ll have to tell them to go.
In response to what he called insufficient enforcement of laws against the sale of illicit brew, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has said that he will remove 100 chiefs by December 31 of this year.
The DP claimed that he, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki, and Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo had all agreed on the names of people who would be let go.
Why Gachagua is threatening to fire chiefs
Gachagua stated on Sunday, I don’t want to fire chiefs, but I want to fire roughly 100 chiefs before Christmas throughout the entire country so that they can set an example for others who aren’t working.The list will be complete by December 12 before the mass firing can start, the DP stated.
Gachagua declared, “I love chiefs, but I love the young people more.”
The DP praised the campaign against illicit brew and noted that sales had dropped by 70% in Nandi County, but he urged the County Commissioner not to give up until it was totally eliminated.
Gachagua requested the county commissioner to consult with the local elders and chiefs before making a decision.
In Kenya, especially in the Mt. Kenya region and the Rift Valley, Gachagua has been at the vanguard of the fight against illegal brew.
Gachagua clarified that he focused his attention on the two areas since, in his opinion, they are the most affected.
The DP has been leading a drive to eradicate illegal brews from the nation, claiming that their continuing consumption would probably wipe off future generations.
