The Milimani High Court has temporarily suspended online alcohol sales and delivery in Nairobi, pending a hearing on 18 November. Sellers must obtain a licence and verify that customers are at least 18, according to orders issued on 9 November.

The Milimani High Court in Nairobi has provisionally suspended online alcohol sales and delivery in the Kenyan capital, by an order issued on Monday 9 November by Judge David Mburu, according to Tuko.

Platforms, websites and digital marketplaces must now obtain the licences required by law, reserve alcoholic drinks for dedicated sections accessible only to authenticated users, and verify that their customers are at least 18. Authentication may be done with a password or a personal identification code.

The application was filed by David Biketi Wati against the Nairobi County Government and the county’s alcoholic drinks licensing and control body. The next hearing is set for 18 November, to give the parties time to respond.
