I am in Mombasa for a few days. After a VERY hot morning, we decided to go to the Castle Hotel at lunch time. While we were looking at the menu, I ordered a baridi Tusker. To my horror, I was informed that the new drinking rules dont allow them to serve any pombe before 5 pm. !!!! I dont know if this rule applies to all the beach hotels. If so, we are going to KILL our tourist market, just when it has started to recover. Why are we doing this. Anyone know ? Thanks.

Tourism cannot die coz pombe is not being sold during the day, let people look for other things to do. Too bad for those who think they must drink. With all due respect, its not a matter of life and death.

A good number of Kenyans have a bad habit of drinking beer even in the morning.Those beer rules are good.No more beer breakfast.They should have been effected long time ago.Only alcoholics(who need treatment) drink beer early.Those laws can't kill tourism.Where those tourists come from(if from the west) such rules apply.Only tourists from Mlolongo will be affected.

Hi Guys, I can understand where some of you are coming from. However, even if you are from the West, and on holiday, why cant you have a beer at lunch. Maybe the rules should say only from 12 noon to 2 pm. All the guys I know from the West have a beer or glass of wine at lunch . And the guys who have beer breakfasts will continue in their homes. Anyway guys, just saying I like a beer with my lunch when I am on holiday. Peace - no offence meant to anyone Regards

smile this is most definately a good thing. There were too many men getting hopeless due to beer. Women demonstrated, brought down kiosks, now it was time for gava to act. Kudos GOK. This is one good thing you've done.
....above all, to stand.
