The County government of Kiambu has banned unlicensed parties from being conducted by the roadside, especially Githunguri, Limuru, and some tea plantations in Kiambaa Area.
Speaking during the Jamhuri Day celebrations on Tuesday, Kiambu County Commissioner Joshua Nkanatha noted that most of the parties being held on the roadside, mostly by motorists, are using the vehicle cover to consume unlicensed beer and conduct immorality illegally.
“In the last two weeks, we have arrested about 30 young people who are engaging in these parties in unauthorized places, coming and making noise, and with their own Disco Jockers (DJs), and I want to warn them that these street parties are illegal,” he said.
Nkanatha said that those who come into the county riding and driving into the various tea plantations that are scarcely populated in the name of taking drives only to come and disturb the peace of the region should cease unless they have an operating permit from the governor’s office.
On her part, Kiambu Women Representative Ann Wamuratha asked the County Commissioner’s office to look into the issue of drugs and alcohol in the county and pointed out that the Banana area is notorious.
