I think this Mutotho law was seeking to address the drunks in shags,college students and the slum Nairobians.I come from Nyeri and the whole December I was trying to get a guy to dig a piece of shamba for me and I could get none!Wanaamka straight to the bar u'd think its a place of work!Mind you I was offering 500sh/day which is more than fair for shags....lakini they would all rather kanywaji!

We surely cant get to vision 2030 with such people.

@waithaka @birdman

This is a good law and is an example of how legislators should use their grey matter.

Pombe has become a national disaster.We have men who drink to the point of being unable to do anything else like @ birdman's example.We have so many homes which are being run by women with the men abdicating their roles.

Women who have suffered due to their partners' drunkenness are celebrating now.Instead of mzee drinking the whole day he'll have only 6hours and the rest he will find himself some income generating activity as well as help with running the family.

bird-man. andu a thauthi tetu nia baaata!

I recall in mathira, there were some wazees taking their wheelbarrows/jembes to to a drinking den in ragati to exchange for mai ma muoyo.

We shall not talk about the bedroom business.Kijana mwingine aliniimbia he went to perform somewhere and the wife told him, "toa huyu weka kwa hiyo kiti ndiyo tufanye". The hubby had blacked-out on the bed.

If you guys come from places with such silly men, please don't blame me!

Just because a bunch of kikuyus have a problem with drink does not make me an alcoholic kikuyu too.

I will say this very bluntly. Kikuyus are trying to come up with laws to deal with their kids to the detriment of others in the society.

Why not come up with a law outlawing drug dealers in the coast from being anywhere near parliament or Mututho? that would really help.

@rasilio, am no Kikuyu so i'll be as objective as I can. Shame! Shame! Shame on you! Why cant you give your opinion like the rest who are against the law without being tribal? Shame!
