In April, Nairobi County tabled a bill in the county assembly seeking to limit all bars in the city to 3,000.
Appearing before the Nairobi County Assembly Budget and Appropriation Committee, Nairobi County deputy director of liquor licensing Hesbon Agwena said the policy seeks to rein in the mushrooming of illegal outlets in the city.
Mr Agwena told the Robert Mbatia-led committee that the policy will inform the maximum number of bars that should be within every area, location and the distance between them.
