Nema has been compelled to enforce closure notices against Kiza lounge in Kilimani after residents complained of loud music. Environment and Land court Judge Loice Komingoi on Monday directed that the same notices be enforced on B Club, Space Lounge and Grill and Explorer Tavern. She said the director of environment at Nairobi county government, Nema, the NCC Alcoholic Drinks and Licensing Board and Nairobi county government have been reluctant to exercise their mandate under the Constitution and Environmental Act (EMCA). The Nairobi county government was further compelled to revoke all liquor licences issued to the four clubs. “What goes on in these establishments is causing a bad influence to the children, thus violating our rights and freedoms,” they argued.
