Kenya warns alcohol sellers in Nairobi against mobile sales to minors, threatening fines or jail.

Kenya's NACADA warns alcohol outlets, especially those in petrol stations in Nairobi's upscale areas, against selling to minors via mobile transactions. CEO Anthony Omerikwa highlighted the growing issue, attributing it to mobile payments bypassing age checks. Outlets are urged to comply with the 2010 Alcoholic Drinks Control Act, mandating age verification, or face fines up to Sh150,000 or imprisonment up to a year.
