Open Letter To Mututho About His Attempts At Banning Masaku 7s

I’d start off by saying “top of the morning to you” but the morning is now just a distant memory. So I hope your evening is going well. That said, we are done with the niceties and pleasantries so we can now talk turkey. I read on Ghafla with some marked concern that you have decided to wage a war against Masaku 7s and couldn’t help but wonder whether you were serious of you were misquoted.

In any case, if you sir, are serious, then Kenya is in for dark days! Because your actions would be tantamount to an attempt at turning Kenya into a police state. And that is quite the step forward towards development isn’t it?
Why do I hold this concern? Because for you to appoint yourself the morality policeman is for you to sound the death knell of freedom of association and freedom of speech and self expression. Also, it would be a rather daft move because if history has proven anything, it is that proscribed events and goods flourish albeit on black markets.

Case in point would be what happened in America during the Prohibition Era and a case in point to defend my stance is what is currently going on in the state of Colorado.

But the long and short of that report is that since the legalization of marijuana, crime has been on the steady decline.

Allow me to bring my argument full circle:

Your attempts at policing the morals of the youth will backfire horribly because you will make it cool to be ill behaved off of alcohol. You will it make seem like a cool way to rebel against the government.

Then there is the small part that you cannot appoint yourself moral policeman. What you can do is to sensitize people on the harmful effects of alcohol and leave it to them to decide. There needs to be a clear separation between state and private citizens lives.
