Kiambu Says No More to Boozy “Park and Chill” Parties in Tea Plantations

The popular “park and chill” events, where young Kenyans gather in tea plantations around Kiambu County to party, have been banned by the county commissioner, Joshua Nkanatha. Citing concerns about alcohol and drug use, as well as potential sexual activity, Nkanatha announced the crackdown during the 60th Jamhuri Day celebrations.

These gatherings, often promoted on TikTok and frequented by young women, have become notorious for their excessive alcohol consumption, drug use, and sometimes even sexual activity. Often, attendees drive their cars into the plantations, park them with the trunks open, and use them as makeshift party spaces.

Nkanatha emphasized that the county government is taking a multi-pronged approach to address the issue. They are working with the county security committee to crack down on illegal roadside parties and ensure that establishments selling alcohol have proper permits. Additionally, police officers who are on leave have been recalled to duty to provide extra security during the Christmas season.

The commissioner also warned against transformer theft, a serious problem in the county. He urged residents to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity around transformers to help curb this crime.
