Three bars in Mwisho wa Lami, Charagita Ward, Nyandarua County, have had their licences revoked as the county government intensified its crackdown on illicit alcohol. Governor Kiarie Badilisha said the operators violated regulations governing alcohol sales, warning that more bars risk closure. The action follows the suspected poisoning death of James Kimaru, which triggered protests by residents accusing some bar owners of selling illicit alcohol.
