Did it have to take Uhuru for us to act?

My heart sank when I saw images in the Press of youth wasted away by the alcohol pandemic.

I feel for the families whose children come home each night inebriated, staggering and not knowing the left from the right hand. Many of us would love to see our children to come home sober after a hard day building the nation. Thousands, perhaps millions, of distraught parents have lost hope in their children.
