The National Police Service (NPS) has donated two acres of land to 110 windows in Kisii County, with the aim of improving their livelihood and rehabilitating them from illicit trade. 

This comes as part of NPS reforms in the ongoing crackdown on illicit brew. 

The Kisii County Commander, Francis Kooli, presided over the handing over of the leased land to Nyagenke Self-Help Group consisting of 200 members, amongst them 110 widows.

The police further stated that the widows would benefit from the land through income-generating projects the women will be undertaking.

In addition, the police noted that such initiatives would help them in their mandate of reforming citizens engaged in crime.

On September 9, 2021, Interior Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matiang’i, launched a 30-day Rapid Results Initiative (RRI) aimed at eliminating illicit brew in the country.
