Nyampuluko Ward
Councilor in Sengerema District, Mwanza Region has asked the government
to amend the alcohol law Section 28 of 1968 which prohibits vendors from
selling alcohol during work hours.
Addressing a public rally at Nyampuluko yesterday, the councilor said: “The law is hindering effective revenue collection.”
According to him, the law was formed many years ago when there was a booming selling of local beer.
He
said it was enacted in 1948 when local brews dominated the industry.
“Unlike in the past, most alcohol joints now sell beer,” he said
