BOARD SHUTS DOWN PUBS IN MOI UNIVERSITY
The Uasin
Gishu County government will not renew licenses for bar owners at a trading
centre within Moi University in Kesses.
County
alcoholic drinks control board boss Armstrong Rono said they have taken the
measure after it emerged that the bars, which operate on a 24-hour basis, are
used to sell hard drugs to students.
“We have
denied them licences, not only to protect students, but also because they are a
security threat,” said Mr Rono.
He said the
move is also meant to protect pupils of a nearby primary school from accessing
alcohol or being lured into using drugs.
