Published on December 27, 2019, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has sparked a heated online debate after declaring that he will be quitting alcohol and focusing on chang'aa from 2020.
According to Owino, his decision is in line with his New Year's resolutions, and he believes that chang'aa is not only a good alternative to alcohol but also has medicinal and libido-boosting properties.
As a long-time advocate for the legalization of chang'aa, Owino has been at the forefront of the campaign, arguing that the brew is essential for many families who rely on it to make ends meet.
However, it remains to be seen whether Owino will keep his word and abstain from alcohol, given his past statements on the matter.
Many of his followers have commended his decision, with some even offering to host him for a chang'aa-drinking session.
While there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that chang'aa has medicinal properties, its users insist that it is the solution to men's rising problems with their libido and stamina.
