Kabando claimed to know these people well, especially those who operate in the Mt Kenya region, alleging that his opposition to their operations made them sponsor his opponent against him in 2017.
The former Nyeri senator candidate sensationally claims that it is the barons who are financing the events UDA is holding in churches weekly, while badmouthing others and spewing hatred speeches.
"Criminals in illicit brews trade are mostly well-connected wheelers and dealers. Though we didn't defeat them in the Uhuru era, but at least we disconnected. Now they're financiers of UDA's weekly "thanksgiving" "prayers" that are forums to spew diatribe, hate, lie and launder cash," he said in a tweet on Thursday.
He stated that it is time all leaders came out to end illicit brew in Mt Kenya, even those who have not been affected by the negative effects of the same.
"Illicit brew owners, washwash, tax looters and mpesa-pastors are shareholders in this criminal enterprise 'hustlernation'. And, if you can't speak out when your voters are poisoned killed or when legit businesses are closing down because of adverse economic policies, you a KÌGEGE," he added.
