Freemasons Hall in Nairobi Closed Due to 19 Million Shilling Debt Nairobi, Kenya – A Freemasons Hall in Nairobi has been closed due to an outstanding debt of 19 million Kenyan shillings (approximately $135,000 USD). The closure, reported by local news outlets, follows a county government operation targeting tenants with rent arrears. The incident has sparked public discussion and raised questions about financial transparency within the organization. News footage shows officials carrying out the eviction, removing furniture and other items from the hall. One local resident commented, "It's a shame to see this happen, but the county government has a right to collect its dues."
