Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero has said Weston Hotel will be penalised if found guilty of serving contaminated food.
This is after reports emerged on Friday that 50 people were hit with cholera while attending a health conference at the hotel.
While speaking on Sunday in Nairobi, Kidero said that he had directed relevant officials to investigate the matter and establish the source of the food.
"So far, the hotel management said the food served on the said day was obtained from outside. We are seriously following the matter and soon the truth shall be unveiled," he told journalists.
He said City Hall has also requested Weston management to provide medical records of all its staff to verify if they have undergone vaccination.
"Our minimal health standards is that those working in such facilities must undergo vaccination twice a year, that is why it is necessary to start from there and ascertain whether the hotel adheres to this regulation," he said.
