Kilifi County joins Mombasa County In Baning Muguka
Kilifi Governor Gideon Mung’aro on Friday imposed a ban on Muguka including its transportation, distribution, and sale.
In a statement, the governor ordered the immediate closure of all outlets, whether in the form of retail or wholesale, selling or distributing Muguka within Kilifi County.
Mung’aro further stated that vehicles transporting Muguka would not be allowed entry into Kilifi County.
“Executive Order No. 1 of 2024 on the ban of entry, transportation, distribution, sale, and use of Muguka within Killifi County. In the exercise of the powers conferred in Section 30(2)(1) of the County Government Act and all other enabling laws of Kenya,” the governor announced.
The decision by Mung’aro comes barely a day after Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Sheriff Nassir announced a total ban on the product.
In the May 22 notice, Nassir directed all outlets including retail and wholesale selling Muguka in Mombasa County to halt operations immediately.
