“We have major proposals which we will come to discuss in a matter of days and we would not like to see Kenya go to where the way of America and other countries have. We would like to go the Singapore or China way such that if you are caught, you will know within 48 hours that you are going to the gallows,” Mututho warned.
Over 80 people died in May after drinking illegal liquor believed to have been laced with industrial methanol. According to Amnesty International In August, Kenya’s National Assembly, as part of amendments to the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, rejected the inclusion of the death penalty as a punishment under the Act.
