The girl was Rachael Kimanthi .Rachael and her close friends got an opportunity to party like royalty having been ferried to the venue in a 12 seater limousine

 “I don’t know what to say. I have never felt so alive and thrilled. This has been the best night of my life and I have enjoyed every single moment. Thank you Bacardi, you really know how to throw a party,” said Racheal Kimanthi.

About BACARDÍ rum – The World’s Most Awarded rum

 

In 1862, in the city of Santiago de Cuba, founder Don Facundo Bacardí Massó revolutionized the spirits industry when he created the world’s first smooth, light-bodied spirit – BACARDÍ rum. The unique taste of BACARDÍ rum inspired cocktail pioneers to create some of the world’s most famous cocktail recipes including the BACARDÍ Mojito, the BACARDÍ Daiquirí, the BACARDÍ Cuba Libre, BACARDÍ Pina Colada and the BACARDÍ Presidente. Seven generations later, the Bacardi Company is still family owned, and BACARDÍ rum has won nearly 600 awards for quality and product profile. Today, BACARDÍ rum is made in Puerto Rico and Mexico, where it is crafted to ensure the taste remains the same today as it did when it was first blended in 1862.

 

The Pubs, Entertainment and Restaurant Association of Kenya (PERAK) is demanding for the suspension of alcoblow (breathalyzer) until proper engagement and consultations are held between the government and stakeholders.

PERAK even threatened to seek a court injunction if the government will fail to agree to talks on how the gadgets should be used arguing that its limit is below international levels, adding that the US and European countries have set about 0.8mg of 100ml of blood alcohol percentage limit.

Alcoblow was re-introduced in December as a reflex to curb road carnage and those found to have surpassed the stipulated 0.35mg of 100ml of blood alcohol percentage risk a fine of up to Sh100,000 or a jail term of one year or both.

The lobby group wants the State to temporarily suspend alcoblow crackdown and engage the bar owners, who say their businesses are losing sales due the restrictions, prompting them to mull over job cuts.
