Speaking at Afya House on Sunday, CS Mutahi Kagwe warned alcohol selling facilities against defying ban on sale of alcohol.
Kagwe noted the recent rise in selling of alcohol. He directed those doing it to follow the guidelines by Ministry of Health.
“We have not lifted the ban and we urge them to adhere to the directives given by the ministry of health. Opening of bars and sale of alcohol remains banned. Those who flout rules will have licenses revoked,” said Kagwe.
Kagwe also encouraged Kenyans who are able to work from home to do so to curb spread of covid-19.
