Kudos to the parliament for passing MP John
Mututho’s bill seeking to regulate consumption of alcohol. The bill currently
sitting at committee level should be signed into law by president Kibaki to
control the effects of the bottle.
Following the debate in the house most members
observed alcohol is wasting the youthful population negatively affecting their
health and energy causing heavy addiction.
In addition alcohol kills through road
accidents and liver disorders.
The reports in the media about a month ago
showing even high school kids taking to the bottle shows alarming rate of the
problem. With uncensored advertising, poor parental guidance, peer pressure and
negative role models the youths fall a victim of the bottle.
Kenyan youths should know you cant only enjoy
your time through alcohol, not every party has an alcohol and not even every
one at the party drinks alcohol.
