Speaking
during the Illicit Alcohol And Drug Eradication Conference in
Mombasa on Monday, Koome said that the licensing of alcohol outlets should
be regarded as a security issue because people are dying.
He requested Deputy President
Rigathi Gachagua, who presided over the conference to have the licensing
reverted to the police like it was previously.
"Your Excellency, I will
request that maybe the law be changed regarding the licensing of alcohol
outlets to return to the way it was in the past," the Inspector General
said.
Koome claimed that governors have
politicised the licensing of the outlets, saying all they look at is votes and
revenues for their devolved units and thereby police should be given that job.
