You go by mood, feelings, and unsubstantiated rhetoric, but I depend on peer-reviewed research and information about the alcohol/drug menace in society. Politicians make up 0.008% of Kenya and thus cannot inflict economic pain. 20-40% of Kenyans involved in alcohol, gambling, and prostitution are the primary contributors to Kenya's decline, not the 0.08% of politicians. Morara Kebaso, a successful young person earning 8 million monthly, said, 'He attributes his success to sobriety.' His friends and schoolmates, according to him perished from women, alcohol, gambling, jealousy, envy, laziness, etc. Being sober 24/7 for 20+ years or so opens your mind to see opportunities others don't see! You can be filthy rich in a poor country if you are sober 24/7 for least 40 years!
Warped diagnosis as usual.
These are kwesekwensis of an economic system that rewards unproductive political thugs and punishes harshly productive mwafrika thus stagnation and cyclical poverty. Sober, disciplined mwafrika whether mining gold or milking cows 24/7 are dirty poor.
This is just more power to police terrorists, kanju and other unproductive corrupt parasites!
Mad mad suicidal!

It Looks like they have copied US laws and regulations to a T. If enforced and maintained for even 2 years, prosperity will come to kenya in a meaningful way. Main problem affecting Kenya is alcoholism, prostitution, underage drinking/drug abuse, lack of discipline and focus. These all lead affected people to gamble, make poor choices etc. For economic activity to thrive, there have to be millions of sober and honest people in the arena. This is what Gachagua has been advocating daily. I hope he comes out to support such especially in the mountain where affected the most!
Alcoholism in Kenya has significant negative impacts on individuals, families, and the broader society, affecting health, social structures, and economic development. It's a major public health concern with widespread consequences, including increased rates of violence, risky sexual behaviors, and the spread of infectious diseases.
Individual Level Impacts:
Health Problems:
Excessive alcohol consumption leads to various health issues, including liver damage, cancer, heart failure, and mental health problems like depression and anxiety.
Risky Behaviors:
Alcohol abuse is linked to increased risky sexual behavior, including unprotected sex and sexual violence, potentially leading to the spread of HIV/AIDS.
Substance Use Disorders:
Heavy episodic drinking can lead to alcohol dependency and other substance use disorders.
Memory Loss and Blackouts:
Young people who drink heavily often experience alcohol-induced blackouts, causing memory loss and increasing vulnerability to other alcohol-related consequences.
Family Level Impacts:
Domestic Violence:
High alcohol use, particularly among fathers, is associated with domestic violence and increased instances of child abuse.
Neglect of Responsibilities:
Alcohol abuse can lead to neglect of family responsibilities, including providing for basic needs and childcare.
Erosion of Family Structures:
Alcoholism can weaken family bonds, leading to family disintegration and increased poverty.
Societal Impacts:
Economic Strain:
Alcohol abuse diverts resources from essential needs, contributing to poverty and hindering development.
Increased Crime Rates:
Alcohol abuse is linked to increased crime rates, including violence and theft.
Strain on Healthcare System:
The high prevalence of alcohol-related illnesses and injuries places a burden on the healthcare system.
Spread of Illicit Alcohol:
The high demand for alcohol, coupled with ineffective regulation, fuels the production and sale of illicit and often dangerous alcoholic beverages.
Addressing Alcoholism in Kenya:
Enforcement of Regulations:
The Kenyan government has introduced laws like the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act 2010 to regulate alcohol production and sales, but implementation faces challenges.
Public Awareness Campaigns:
Educational campaigns are needed to raise awareness about the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption and promote responsible drinking habits.
Treatment and Rehabilitation:
Providing access to effective treatment and rehabilitation programs for alcoholics is crucial.
Community Involvement:
Engaging communities in developing and implementing culturally sensitive interventions is essential for addressing the problem effectively.
Addressing Social and Economic Factors:
Tackling poverty, unemployment, and lack of access to healthcare can reduce the underlying factors that contribute to alcohol abuse
