Fight for family flask as hard alcohol floods Kenyan homes

Nacada Chair John Mututho says the local market is flooded with poor quality alcohol.

The family flask is the new source of tension between children and their fathers, the little ones wanting it for their porridge and their father for warm water to dilute his hard alcohol.

Flask sales, says Alex, a hawker in Kayole, have never been better, with the proliferating of bedsitter-sized bars in the many working class estates in urban areas.
