They are a sign that no alcohol is being sold,” said Mr Ngure, a driver of one of the trucks. The driver said trucks have also been returning expired alcohol, especially spirits, after depots and bars were unable to sell. The returns have been the main proof of how the market, especially for spirits, has shrunk.

The small businesses, such as eateries that usually rely on staff working there for survival, have been suffering too.
