 30.August.2025

The clan head of Kamarinyang in Magodesi Town Council Tororo district Nicholas Okitwi Emoit Muliro has challenged local council leaders to formulate by-laws that will help regulate consumption of alcohol.

While addressing mourners at the burial of one Julius Omachar Okware in Kamarinyang cell in Ginnery ward Magodesi town today; The clan leader decried the high rate in which alcoholic substances are being consumed in the area saying that it is likely to be a time bomb if not regulated.

Okitwi says continuous abuse of alcoholic substances in the area has had a negative impact on livelihoods and majority of households can no longer have enough food since consumers have abandoned garden work and decided to spend most of their time in trading centers drinking.

Okitwi says through the country’s alcoholic drinks control policy, local council’s can be guided to come up with suitable bylaws that can help them regulate its consumption at village level.

Meanwhile Charles Okware a catechist in  Lwanjusi Catholic Out station of Mollo Catholic Parish in the Archdiocese of Tororo who was the chief mourner hailed the clan leaders suggestion to have consumption of alcohol regulated adding that even in church the numbers of their believers coming for prayers has reduced especially among the men.

 He said most men have abandoned Sunday prayers on grounds that their spouses go to pray for them but also the few men who tur
n up to pray just come to sleep while prayers are ongoing implying that they sleep late or they come straight from the drinking places.
