Club Sabina Joy is one of the popular brothels in the Central Business District (CBD) in Nairobi which has withstood all prevailing texts for a very long time. 

Many people believe this common brothel never shuts its doors no matter what happens in the CBD. 

Some even came out to joke that the club only closed once in its lifetime. That was during the 1982 attempted coup.  

They pointed out that Saturday was the second time the club was being closed. 

Sabina Joy closed its doors due to a directive from Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang'i. 

Matiang'i gave an order on Wednesday to have all bars closed to allow for the smooth running of the census. 

The National Census 2019 kicked off Saturday across the whole country. 

The bars will remain closed even on Sunday evening.

Closure of Club Sabina Joy elicited mixed reactions among Kenyans. Here are some of their reactions:
