NACADA Proposes New Alcohol Regulations and Raised Legal Drinking Age to 21 - July 2025

The National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) has proposed a comprehensive set of new regulations aiming to curb alcohol abuse across Kenya. Key proposals include a ban on alcohol sales in all public places, supermarkets, and online platforms, as well as an increase of the legal drinking age from 18 to 21 years. These changes are part of a broader policy launched by Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, which also suggests banning alcohol advertisements on social media.
