Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 48896, member: 636"] Traditional alcohol lovers have banded together to form a new group called Full Glass Gospel. The Busia county association started last year and brings together brewers and drinkers from across the region. Isaac Kimungui leads the group and wants government agencies to work with them on various programs. Members support each other through tough times and help authorities catch criminals. The association seeks official recognition to access state funding for their projects. Kimungui requires all members to farm from dawn until midday before they start drinking. This rule prevents laziness and keeps people productive during morning hours. The group has applied for government registration to qualify for grants and other financial support. Members want the same treatment as other community organizations across the county. They believe their contributions to society deserve official acknowledgment from local authorities. The founder strongly denies claims that his members steal livestock or commit other crimes. Security officers and administrators often blame the group for theft and property damage without proof. Kimungui says these accusations are completely false and damage their reputation unfairly. His members actually help police identify suspects when crimes happen in their communities. The group works hard to maintain peace and order in their neighborhoods. The association wants traditional drinks made legal like Uganda did to boost county revenues. Members request permission to drink from noon until 4pm on weekdays without police interference. Kimungui believes this schedule would reduce conflicts with law enforcement officers. The group hopes government officials will consider their proposals seriously. They want respect as legitimate community members who contribute to local development. [/QUOTE]
