The Nairobi County Government have put strict measures in place to do away with eating joints that work without valid certificates and unregistered water vendors due to the outbreak of cholera in Nairobi.
Bernard Muia the county Health executive said he had directed public health officers to restrain the joints that lack valid licences in order to contain the spread of the disease.
"I have instructed public health officers to ensure that eateries without licences and are being operated without even a toilet be given 24hours to conform t the provisions of the Health Act or risk being closed down, and owners arrested and arraigned in court," said Dr. Muia.
Dr. Muia also said that the officers will randomly inspect water supplied to the residents to ensure that it is safe for human consumption.
"Our health officers are now going round looking at the water tankers to validate whether they are registered and also to know the status of such water being supplied," he added.
