Speaking on Tuesday during a security meeting in Machakos town, the commissioner raised concern over the rate at which children have been accessing the social places which are legally prohibited to the underage.

The commissioner ordered for the immediate crackdown and arrest those involved.

 “We don’t want underage children in bars; they should immediately be arrested with help from the children officers. The owners of the bars or the attendants selling alcohol to the children should also be arrested and their businesses blacklisted,” She said.
