The entire hullabaloo on alcoholism is unnecessary and has inconvenienced manufacturers, sellers and consumers as well as the public. Fine we have burned and destroyed all the ‘kanyanyas’ pub that are present in our villages, but does that stop the manufacturer from making the killer brews in their well-stocked kitchen? Or does it stop the consumer from purchasing their favorite drink over the neighbors’ fence? Unless we keep watch everywhere, which is impossible, then we labor in vain.
At first the initiative was genuine and welcomed by mothers and wives, but now it has turned into a ridicule field. It’s true that shame and embarrassment has manifested itself in the nation on women and men alike who are publicly imbibing these killer brews rather than working and being part of the development team. On the other hand, the Government and officials are using this as a platform for publicity and their own vital advantage.
