Nairobi County has launched LiquorPay, a new digital platform to streamline the application and approval process for liquor licenses, replacing manual procedures. This aims to eliminate delays and corruption for over 13,000 bar and club owners.

• The automated system moves the licensing office to traders' doorsteps, removing the need for physical visits and tedious paperwork.
• Chief Officer for Hustler and Business Opportunities Lydia Mathia stated the system eliminates corruption, increases revenue transparency, and eases the cost of doing business.
• The process involves registration on nairobiservices.go.ke, logging in with National ID or KRA PIN, submitting business details, and paying an application fee of Ksh6000 via M-Pesa Paybill 4185885.
• Upon successful payment, traders receive an instant provisional license valid for 21 days, with a full annual license issued after a physical inspection.
