    "content": ", the police, chiefs or whoever is charged with this, it is common knowledge, are bribed and do not do what they are supposed to do. We want to call on the Government and the Ministry in charge, the chiefs and the DOs. We appreciate the move that was made to sack chiefs who were serving in areas where the deaths occurred. We would like to see the same happening in areas where deaths have not occurred. We cannot wait and act only when deaths occur. We would like to see villages, townships and cities cleared of this undesirable practice. This can be done if our officers, whether in the police or chiefs did their work the way they are supposed to do it. I want to commend officers who use the alcoblow to arrest drunken drivers. At least, we see people being arrested and charged. We are told road accidents have gone down. That could be one of the contributing factors. We want to see other areas also put that kind of effort. As a nation, we cannot afford that level of drinking. We know that the World Health Organisation (WHO) also has rules on control of alcohol and the platform for this. I would like to call upon the Ministry of Health to rally the Cabinet Secretary to follow that and to make sure that we domesticate the WHO law here in Kenya.
