dc.description.abstractPrevalence of consumption of illicit brews in Kenya, specifically Chang’aa, has been on the limelight for several decades because of its effects on not only its consumers, but the families of consumers and the society at large. Despite the repeated visible effects, mostly reported through the media, not much research has been done to uncover in specific the effects that chang’aa, and one of the illicit brews in Kenya among others has on its consumers. This paper therefore interrogates the effects of this illicit brew, based on various researches in different parts in the country by scholars. The paper adopted a descriptive research design. The data was collected from secondary sources, majorly, research reports from thesis, publications from journals and e-books. It involved a review of these research reports in order to document the findings on the effects of chang’aa. It was then found that, chang’aa, has led to deaths of several hundreds of people, health problems, environmental and economic effects. These effects were both positive and negative on the social and economic perspective, but the negative effects outweighed the few positive effects.en_US
