This goes against the spirit of the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act, which bans sale and consumption of alcoholic drinks in the presence of children,” said Ms. Opee. Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe proposed the rules under the Public Health Act, Cap 242.In the draft notice, Kagwe said, anyone who disregards the rules commits an offence and is liable for punishment. “Alcoholic drinks shall not be sold to sit-in customers at restaurants, eateries, bars, food courts, supermarkets, wines & spirits shops or in any business establishment,” the notice reads. Public Health Director Francis Kuria said he was aware of the document’s circulation on social media. Once it gets a number and becomes a legal notice then we can talk about if further,” said Kuria.
