Alcohol manufacturers have protested the suspension of their licenses and the introduction of new tough measures by the government, saying it would lead to revenue losses and increase the cost of business.
The Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) said the directive by the State that its members install quality control laboratories as a pre-condition for reinstatement of their permits is expensive to implement.
