Government has a duty to protect its citizens

The decision to close the ‘booze gates’ has not been well received by many, especially the consumers and traders. It means that the alcohol industry will yet again endure more financial losses as it was the case previously.

 Painful as it is, it has emerged that as a nation, we are failing to strike a balance between the benefits of alcohol while minimising its dangers. To be fair, we are to blame for this current ban because of our conduct and lack of self-control.
