They seized 29,000 litres of contraband ethanol alleged to have been from Uganda. This comes amid growing concern about the influx of contraband ethanol used to manufacture fake liquor in the Western region. Northern Corridor highway patrol police commander Joshua Nyasimi said the ethanol was nabbed along Chwele-Kamukuywa road in a lorry from Uganda. Nyasimi said last week they intercepted another lorry with 2,8840 litres of contraband ethanol at Webuye. “We have intensified patrols and tightened security along the Northern Corridor highway to ensure no counterfeit goods enter the country," he said.
