On a Monday morning, employees at Safaricom's main headquarters in Kenya were subjected to a surprise alcoblow test.
This move by the telecommunications company appears to be part of its efforts to enforce its contract and ensure that employees do not report to work under the influence of alcohol.

The testing was likely implemented to prevent employees from operating machinery while under the influence of alcohol and to ensure compliance with company regulations.
