FALSE: President Kenyatta has not suspended the sale of alcohol within the country indefinitely
In a televised address to the nation on July 27, President Kenyatta banned the sale of alcoholic drinks and beverages in eateries and restaurants across the country for 30 days, and not indefinitely as the tweet claims. The ban took effect at midnight on the day of the announcement.
He also changed an existing order for the closure of restaurants from 8 pm to 7 pm. Bars will remain closed throughout the period and the countrywide curfew from 9 pm to 4 am will remain in place over the same period.
