Tororo Woman legislator, Sarah Opendi has said that the proposed Alcoholic Drinks Control Bill 2023 seeks to regulate, not ban alcoholic in Uganda. In a session with MPs from the Health and Trade committees, Opendi highlighted the bill’s focus on protecting vulnerable populations and curbing alcohol-related accidents and HIV infections. Opendi addressed concerns about the bill’s impact on politicians, stating that once passed it would prohibit politicians from buying alcohol for voters during working hours.
