What you need to know:

  • In Ugenya, many households chang’aa to earn a iving.
  • Chang’aa was legalised in 2010 to improve public health and safety.

As the purge on illicit brews continues countrywide, elected leaders in Ugenya, Siaya County, have kept off the issue of chang’aa.

Condemning chang’aa in Ugenya for the elected leaders is like writing a political epitaph because many households brew and earn a living from it.
