Several businesses in Murang'a County are at risk of closure following a directive by Governor Irungu Kang'ata, who ordered a crackdown on non-compliant traders.
The governor on Saturday, June 21, ordered a crackdown targeting businesses with fake or expired single business permits and those with unpaid county fees.
Kang'ata noted that the county-wide inspection would commence on June 23 and would also target business premises with counterfeit liquor licenses.
In the notice, the governor said the crackdown was to promote compliance, uphold fair business practices, and protect legitimate businesses and consumers.
