What's happening? Why are people drinking like this?

Radio star presenter Maina Kageni has spoken about how much people are drinking. This is after the government through the Ministry of Interior and National Administration has announced 25 measures to curb illicit brew, drug, and substance abuse in the country.

This government measure comes a few days after over 20 people died from the consumption of illicit alcohol in Kirinyaga County.

In today's show, the radio presenter asked his listeners, "What's happening? Why are people drinking like this?"

Below are some of the listener's comments from Classic 105 :

@KanamboC wacha tukunywe sasaAlcohol is addictive and people tend to worship it more. If you set your mind that alcohol will solve all your problems, then you'll never be sober.

@davyie_rhyno·There should be change, alcohol is a solution but will never be the solution to your problems, the addicts ought to be counselled Ppl have been drinking all along..its when some few individuals become very shrewd and hungry for shortcuts in making money hence illicit liquor

@jonnyblackWe are focused on the wrong thing. Alcohol is not the problem nor are alcoholics nor are the bars. Law enforcers are the problem coz they enable bribery for illicit alcohol and registration ie kebs & those who willingly indulge in illicit brew consumption. authorities changamka
