The President of the Drunkards Association of Ghana, Moses Onyah, has also appealed to the government for insurance cover for all members. Alcohol is now very expensive, so 40 percent of 6.6 million members in the country are no longer buying, he said. He said the taxes imposed on various alcoholic beverages are exorbitant.
Speaking to the media, he lamented that though the price of alcohol is high, some local drinks in the country, patronised by his members have been damaging the physical appearance of many individuals. Mr Onyah, thus, called on the government to help initiate insurance cover for members to help visit the hospitals for regular
checks. According to him, the insurance will guarantee their safety to drink responsibly and enable government to generate more revenue for the country. It is important for the government to provide responsibility insurance for them that will serve as an incentive package for the members who drink responsibly, he added. He urged the government to help reduce the high rate of deaths among drunkards.
