Read Time:1 Minute, 48 Second
Nakuru East Sub-county Police Commander, Mohammed Wako, convened a crucial meeting with bar owners from the region to address concerns raised amid the ongoing crackdown on bars. The meeting, held in response to various queries and complaints from liquor and bar proprietors, aimed to establish a consensus on adhering to the latest directives issued by Interior Cabinet Secretary Kindiki.
Speaking after the deliberations; Bar, Hotel and Liquor Traders Association secretary general Boniface Gachoka , expressed gratitude to the sub-county government for facilitating the engagement. He affirmed the unanimous decision of bar owners to comply with the new guidelines set forth by CS Kindiki, pledging full cooperation with law enforcement agencies to uphold the law.
The directives announced by CS Kindiki, including the suspension and reevaluation of licenses for second-generation alcohol and alcoholic beverage manufacturers, received thorough consideration during the meeting. The requirement for Quality Control laboratories and stringent monitoring of raw materials and finished products before market release was also emphasized.
Additionally, the comprehensive regulations prohibit public officers within the enforcement and compliance chain from owning or operating bars, clubs, or similar establishments. CS Kindiki underscored the immediate shutdown of such premises, especially those operating within residential areas and schools.
The new regulations extend beyond the purview of bars, encompassing chemists and agrovets, who are mandated to verify their licenses with relevant authorities within the stipulated timeframe.
In light of these developments, all stakeholders, including bar owners, public officers, and premise landlords, are urged to uphold the law and ensure strict compliance with the outlined directives. Failure to adhere to the regulations may result in legal consequences as authorities intensify efforts to enforce the law and safeguard public well-being.
The Ministry of Interior and National Administration will continue to engage stakeholders and provide necessary support to facilitate smooth implementation of the directives aimed at promoting responsible alcohol consumption and ensuring public safety.
For further updates and clarifications on the new directives, stakeholders are encouraged to stay tuned to Nakuru Times for ongoing coverage and analysis.
