The National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) has raised an urgent alarm about the rising trend of minors obtaining alcohol in Nairobi.
They are said to obtain the alcoholic beverages illegally by using mobile money transactions at outlets located in petrol stations in Lavington, Kileleshwa, Kilimani and Ngong Road Estates. This helps them bypass the verification process of customer's ages, as it is often assumed that anyone with mobile money is over 18 years old.
