Operation in High Gear After Sakaja Orders Closure of Wines and Spirits Shops

On Friday 23 February 2024, Nairobi governor Johnson Sakaja ordered the removal, within seven days, of all outlets selling wines and spirits at bus termini in the county. "We will no longer allow disorder in the city," he warned during a meeting that brought together stakeholders in the transport sector, including the Matatu Owners Association (MOA) and officials from the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA). "Nairobi is the capital city," he added. "We are working round the clock to ensure this. That is why today, I have directed the removal of all wines and spirits shops located around matatu terminals."

The operation, which commenced over the weekend, is in high gear.
