Kirinyaga County Commissioner has ordered the closure of strip clubs operating in Kagio and Kerugoya, citing concerns over indecency and what she described as growing moral decay in the county.
The Commissioner has directed local security teams to enforce the closure of the establishments and ensure that the directive is fully complied with.
The move comes amid growing concerns over the nature of entertainment activities taking place at some establishments and their perceived impact on the community.
The directive is likely to fuel public debate over the regulation of entertainment businesses, public morality and the enforcement of laws governing such establishments.
Authorities are expected to continue monitoring the affected areas to ensure that the closed establishments do not resume operations in violation of the directive.
