Government list shows that there are only 41 local alcoholic beverage manufacturers, 55 local manufacturers of alcoholic beverages, 5,245 registered pharmacies and chemists, 15 companies as manufacturers of veterinary drugs, and 96 distributors of veterinary drugs.
This development comes barely a day after Interior Cabinet Secretary, Kithure Kindiki, issued a directive that all bars and clubs operating within residential and school areas be closed on grounds that their licenses were issued illegally.
The government released a list of registered alcohol manufacturers, pharmacies, chemists, and agrovets in the country yesterday.
