NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 23 – Nairobi City County is seeking to recover approximately Sh924 million in outstanding liquor licensing arrears attributed to East African Breweries Limited (EABL), citing disparities in licensing contributions between major manufacturers and small-scale traders.
Chief Officer for Business and Hustlers Opportunities Lydia Mathia said the claim followed an internal audit that raised concerns over long-standing revenue gaps and inequalities in the liquor licensing regime.
Speaking during a press briefing, Mathia said the outstanding amount was assessed under the Nairobi City County Alcoholic Drinks Control and Licensing Act, 2014, and the Finance Act, 2026.
