The owner of a Chinese restaurant in Nairobi’s Kilimani neighbourhood that denies access to Africans after 5 p.m now faces prosecution for operating a restaurant without a license.
Zhao Yang was arrested on Monday and released on a Sh50, 000 bond.
He is set to appear at the Milimani courts on Thursday to answer to charges of operating a restaurant without a license.
The restaurant, simply known as the Chinese Restaurant, and located on the junction of Galana and Lenana roads, does not admit Africans after 5pm.
Only taxi drivers or Africans accompanied by Chinese, European or Indian patrons are allowed into the compound.
But Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko and former Cabinet Minister Raphael Tuju, said to be a friend of the owners, are allowed in after sunset.
Among those who have been barred from the restaurant, according to the staff, are the former Cabinet Secretary for the Interior and Co-ordination of National Government, Mr Joseph ole Lenku, and former Education Permanent Secretary and presidential candidate Joseph ole Kiyiapi.
