Laikipia West protesters found women's underwear, condoms, bones, gumboots and torn pieces of sacks in drums of illicit brew confiscated following a demo on Wednesday.

Marmanet MCA Francis Mukuria, county Maendeleo ya Wanawake leader Irene Wacuka and local demonstrators joined more than 200 villages in the operation sparked by a man's death.

The demonstrators began the exercise at the den where Eliud Karing’u, the 34-year-old man who died, allegedly drank alcohol hours before his death.

Waving twigs and placards condemning the production and consumption of the brew that "will finish our sons", they confiscated more than 10,000 litres from five homes.

“These items are added to the liquor during the brewing process in the belief that clients will be hooked to a certain brewer,” a protester said of the items found at one den.

Mukuria faulted the trend for the declining number of children enrolled in schools, saying the exercise was aimed at completely ridding his constituency of illicit brew.

“Look at that nursery school, it has very few children and one class has been converted to a kitchen. This is because our sons consuming these liquids," said another protester.

Assistant deputy county commissioner Rufus Kihara lauded residents for reporting brewers to the authorities.

“Those who think that we will get tired of doing our job are wrong. We assure them that they will tire before we do,” he said.

Three suspects were arrested and taken to Karandi police post.
