However, I think there are a lot of people making money out of them and they may try to block the move.<br /><br />The one thing that I really complain about is that there are no rehabilitation centres where people can get work. It is also high time that people stop making excuses and admit that they have problems and so that they may get help.Diary of a Frustrated Brothahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01171143622302626870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855057824542728030.post-18637814780127824722012-01-02T23:48:19.286-08:002012-01-02T23:48:19.286-08:00Reading through your piece, I find it very interes...Reading through your piece, I find it very interesting how the Zambian and Kenyan societies are closely related. What you have described here is an exact reflection of the state of alcoholism in Kenya.<br /><br />I'm not sure what Tujilijili is but allow me assume that it is perhaps an alcoholic drink packed in a sachet or plastic bottle. If that is the case, then we had those too but they were banned due to health concerns and of course, competition issues. However, that did not stem the tide. The situation is getting so bad that certain areas in Kenya are experiencing a weird situation..empty classrooms. Not because, there are no teachers but, hold on for it, they are no children to teach. Sounds crazy but it's a worrying trend.<br /><br />So worrying is the trend, that a new law was passed last year or 2010, regarding the sale of alcohol as well as spelling out drinking hours etc. Once fully implemented, it will really go a long way in averting a major crisis in the country.<br /><br />As a final note, did you know that there is positive correlation between beer consumption and economic growth (though to a certain point)?Lion of NSEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13245841330892603094noreply@blogger.com
