It is a big blow to thousands of Muguka traders in Central Kenya and Mombasa after Governor Abdulswamad Nassir made good his threat to ban its sale and consumption at the coastal city.

In a gazette notice issued on May 22, Nassir banned entry, transportation, distribution, sale, and use of Muguka and its products within Mombasa.
