This is after NACADA teams conducted an operation in Kangemi following complaints from kangemi residents.The operation targeted three bars operating within the Kihumbuini area and situated next to Kihumbuini Primary School.
During the operation, an outlet the Club was found to be operating without required licenses and offering for sale products with an alleged suspended KEBS permit.Twenty-six pieces of assorted liquor brands with suspended permits were also picked from the bar.
The female bartender operating the club was taken to Jogoo Road Police Station, awaiting further processing and arraignment in court. NACADA appealed to Kenyans to continue sharing information that would aid in their operations.
