Deal a severe blow to this business of death

Nearly every Kenyan family is directly or indirectly afflicted by the scourge of chronic alcoholism and drug abuse. To say otherwise would be an open betrayal of a scary fact. That is why Kenyans are craving for a sober approach to the illicit brews menace.

We must sit up and admit that alcoholism and drug abuse is a national crisis. The ravages of alcoholism transcend ethnic and regional boundaries, ultimately impacting negatively on productivity, the economy and social life. In the recent past, Kenya has lost hundreds of young men and women to illicit brews. Those who escaped death were blinded or permanently paralysed.
