Controversy Over NACADA's Proposed Alcohol Regulations - July 2025
John Mututho has criticized NACADA's proposed alcohol rules. Dennis Itumbi, Head of Presidential Special Projects & Creative Economy, publicly criticized new alcohol regulations proposed by NACADA, warning of significant economic repercussions, particularly for content creators, and emphasizing the need for public consultation before implementation. Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has criticized Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen’s proposed alcohol policy, calling it a waste of time, arguing it does little to address illicit alcohol and narcotics abuse. NACADA clarified that its new alcohol policy contains recommendations, not immediate bans, on issues like alcohol advertising and online sales.
