Nasa presidential candidate Raila Odinga has said he will lift the longstanding ban on traditional brews in elected in August.
He told a rally in Sirisia, Bungoma county, on Friday that he will legalise chang’aa.
Mr Odinga argued that there is no law that outrightly declares traditional brews as illegal.
“The government should allow their people to enjoy their favourite drinks,” Mr Odinga said amid cheers.
“The work of the police is to ensure the safety of Kenyans, not arresting those consuming chang’aa,” he added.
