As the Kenyan general election
holding in two months’ time, the government agncy in charge of drug abuse
in the country has proposed that all beer parlors be closed for one week ahead
of the August election.
Victor Okioma, the CEO
of National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse, was
quoted by local TV station Citizen TV, saying that the move would ensure people
don’t vote under the influence of alcohol.
According to him, the
ban should make voters sober so that they visibly vote for the right candidate.
The general election
will take place on Tuesday, August 8, 2017. President Uhuru Kenyatta
will be hoping to retain the seat of the Presidency when he faces his strong
opposition, Raila Odinga.
