Liquor traders, pubs and night club operators and their employees in Nairobi have sought divine intervention over the recent move by the county to ban nightclubs in residential areas. On Monday, they held a prayer meeting at a Nairobi hotel to ask God to intervene over their plight. While quoting Psalms 50:15, the operators said they have decided to call on God's name to protect from what they termed as a disaster. On November 25, the Nairobi county government cancelled licences for nightclubs that were operating in residential areas and said it will no longer issue the permits to such premises. "With the declaration by Nairobi county, nightclubs will have to lay off staff, and most of us have already issued notice to leave employment because of the reduced hours of operation."
