Kiambu County Commissioner Joshua Nkanatha has declared a decisive ban on the unwelcome intrusion of "Nairobians" into Kiambu's peaceful tea farms and streets.
On Sundays, groups of revelers drive from Nairobi to the green tea estates of Limuru, also known as Park and Chill.
"This is a matter of great concern to us, there is a new lifestyle trend that has cropped up in this region since the COVID-19 pandemic," Nkanatha said.
"They revel in partying, alcohol consumption, loud music, and 'pompous activities,' he added.
Commissioner Nkanatha revealed that the county security council had taken up the matter for swift action.
"For the last three weeks, we have been doing a crackdown. We have arrested some of them in Limuru and taken them to court."
Dissatisfied with the disruptive activities, Nkanatha has issued an unequivocal ban, urging all county commissioners to work together to eliminate the threat.
"We do not want to see such kind of activities around here, and as the Kiambu security committee, we are banning them," he said.
"We are collaborating with police officers to ensure that there is a permit for all areas where alcohol is consumed." "There is no permit on the roads," he continued.
Nkanatha has promised to go to any length to put the activities to rest once and for all.
"This youth even has a DJ." We have vowed to keep the crackdown going. "We have an operation order in place to put an end to these hangout habits," he says.
On the same note, Kiambu Woman Representative Ann Wamuratha stated that the activity contributes to the county's drug problem.
"Alcohol and drugs in Kiambu is a real menace, continue collaborating with the security forces to curb this problem," she told the commissioner of police.
Citizen Digital reported on a new party trend in Kenya: young Kenyans park their cars in an open field surrounded by lush tea plantations.
Limuru's tea plantations appear to be the ideal location for this type of wild, outdoor party due to several factors, including its size, clean air, scenic views, and remoteness.
Tired of the same old nightclub routine, these Kenyans prefer to control their partying by carpooling for an afternoon of music, hedonism, and untamed indulgence.
