Wrong comparison. The age pyramid tells us otherwise. Substantial Germans are pensioners whiling away time. 50+ are nearly 50% of the population.

Alcohol has been consumed for ages by humanity, Germany is the number one per capita beer consumption in the world. Alcohol is consumed in large amounts in the USA. The problem with Kenya is wizi, joblessness, hopelessness etc, Kenyans when they step out of the shithole thrive and progress very quickly even guys who could not hack it in the Kenyan education system. There is a lot of potential but wizi keeps everyone down while the chief mwizi travel around thrown stolen money. If you think it's bad now, elect mwizi and let's see how low is the bottom.

Yes - it either control - or we go uganda way - where there is no regulation. But now that we already have a problem - how do we come out of it. Uganda doesnt have that problem.

Let me listen to Owino.

For starters we need to decriminalize mini alcohol manufacturers. Changaa, muratina etc brewing and distilling need to be decriminalized. This would create jobs immediately while at the same time draw money to the local economies instead of the money being sucked to Nairobi, thika and naivasha. Scrap mututho law, the law is what's creating zombies by limiting drinking hours. If you go to shags the drunkards will ask you to buy them a drink and takeaway for the next day. This is mini hoarding, once they wake up they drink the takeaway, and with that they have entered a vicious circle. Just  like a drug addict looking for the next hit.
This should be the start but economic growth in rural areas is the longterm solution.

I have seen it work in Uganda - but I have also seen in kenya - where it already a problem - that clamping down on local brew helps - at least in rural areas - but in urban centers - that impossibility. The more urban like kiambu the harder. But in say Bomet - once you closed down the village local brews - walevi almost have no option except trek 10 kilometers - to urban centers - and it become expensive - so they cut down. And slowly 3/4 of them stop taking alcohol - and only 1/4 hardcore will persist - going all the lengths.

So I dont know - it very difficult situation. Uganda I rarely saw drunk zombies like I see everywhere in Kenya.
