Alcohol can still be sold in hotels but only if they are served in private rooms and not in the public domain, Tourism CS Najib Balala has clarified. President Uhuru Kenyatta during his last state of the nation address declared that alcohol should not be sold to the public in hotels and restaurants to mitigate the spread of Covid-19. The government is considering controlling the sale and consumption of alcohol in a bid to curb the spread of Covid-19. The document states alcoholic drinks should not be sold to sit-in customers at restaurants, eateries, bars, food courts, entertainment joints, supermarkets, wines and spirits shops or any outlet. These include public parks, restaurants, parking lots, eateries, bars, entertainment joints, supermarkets or wines and spirits shops.
