Kenyans who love their tipple are in for a rude shock after the State moved to ban sale of alcohol in supermarkets, restaurants, online platforms and residential areas.

In a new notice, the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (Nacada) has also banned delivery of liquor to people's home by vendors, a popular option for urban residents.
