Security personnel in Keiyo North Sub County have confiscated 654 packets of cigarettes, 150 cartons of 2nd generation liquor all believed to be contraband goods from a bar in Iten town.
Keiyo North Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) Julius Maiyo who led a multi sectoral government team which included KRA, KEBS and public health officers among others said initial reports have termed the liquor to be unfit for human consumption.
He said the packaging was suspect as some of the cartons were not labeled nor did they have the standardization mark from KEBS adding that even those labeled the contents inside were contrary to what was indicated on the label.
The DCC said the cigar labels indicated that they were meant for export adding that they also found 5 loto machines which were also confiscated.
