Nakuru County government and the National Bar Owners Association (BAHLITA) have issued a one week notice to the prison department to close down a bar it is operating in Naivasha town.

They have termed the new establishment as a threat to other bars as liquor sourced from military barracks was sold at cheaper prices thus giving local traders unfair competition.
