The bars and hotel owners in Ruiru and Githurai, want the court to quash the county's Alcoholic Drink and Control (Licensing) Act 2014.

This comes after Kabogo lost to his main challenger, Kabete MP Ferdinand Waititu Tuesday evening, barely hours after Kiambu electorate cast their votes in Jubilee primaries.
