Joyce Akinyi denied claims the manager and waiters were selling alcohol.

Police raided a bar associated with business woman Joyce Akinyi and arrested 14 people who they claimed had flouted COVID-19 pandemic rules.

Police say they will recommend that the license to Deep West bar be cancelled for breaching ministry of health rules on the pandemic. The team of officers raided the premise on Sunday afternoon and rounded up the occupants including a manager. They were expected in court on Monday to face charges of failing to social distance according to ministry of health rules.
