President Kenyatta was forced to swallow his words moments after announcing that he had disbanded the National Aut**rity for Campaign against Alco**l and **** ***** (NACADA) over ********** *********** against its board members.
The Presidential Strategic Communication Unit (PSCU) sent out a press release quoting the President saying he had dissolved the board. A s**rt while later, the PSCU withdrew the press release, clarifying that Mr Uhuru had, actually, not disbanded NACADA.
It is not clear whether the state **use communication team sent out the press release prematurely or the President changed his mind after consultation.

A clarification from the Director of the Presidential Strategic Communication Unit (PSCU) Munyori ***u said: “This is to inform all editors that the NACADA board has not been disbanded as earlier indicated in our previous PSCU story. We apologise for that.”
The president had met MPS from Central Kenya at State **use where he also revoked all licences for bars and other outlets selling the ****** second generation brews in the region and gave the MPs four days to “clean” Central Kenya of the ***icit drinks.
The President said the fight against the ***icit brews would begin in Central Kenya because it is the worst hit. Later the *** w*** be escalated countrywide. The President described the sale of the highly ***** and destructive brews in the country as “the business of *****” and initiated a four-day campaign to rid Central Kenya of the drinks before the same *** is extended to the rest of the country.
