ILLICIT BREWS LEGALISED

At last one can now waltz into a busaa or chang’aa den and imbibe the tipple without the fear of police raids! Also, the mama pimas will make a tidy sum now that the police will not threaten them with raids for cash exchange.

So the police will have to look for other sources of quick money soon lest they go ‘hungry’!

This blogger hopes that the government will institute the necessary quality benchmarks for the brewers to meet and that the Standards Bureau will have the capacity to enforce the stringent measures so that drinkers can be rest assured that they are consuming safe drinks.

The other brewers are definitely not happy about this development but that is the price of liberalistaion. They will need to up their ante so that they can capture their intended market segments and at the same time make a tidy profit since Kenya is a drinking nation!

Be that as it may, we should be alive to the fact that attendant freedom calls for corresponding responsibilities lying squarely with the individual! Watch out also for the rise in Alcoholic Anonymous membership.

Enjoy the tipple and do it responsibly while at it.
