The Beverage Consumers and Bar Owners Association of Ghana—popularly known as the Ghana Drunkards Association—has made a formal appeal to President John Dramani Mahama for support during the festive season.
The Association’s President, Moses Onyah (better known as “Moses Dry Bone”), emphasized that while the holidays are a time for celebration, member safety remains the priority.
Specifically, the group is requesting reflectors and helmets to protect members navigating the roads at night.
Dry Bone pointed out that because many areas are currently undergoing construction, these safety items are essential for preventing accidents among members traveling home after dark.
In an interview with Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, Onyah also proposed a unique partnership with law enforcement. He requested that the Police Service deploy officers to escort intoxicated members to police stations for overnight stays, ensuring they can sleep off the effects of alcohol in a secure environment before returning home safely the next day.
Beyond the appeals for government aid, the Association announced the implementation of a strict new “No ID, No Service” policy.
This measure aims to streamline consumption and prevent minors from accessing alcohol by requiring all patrons to provide identification before being served.
Under these new guidelines, Ghanaian citizens must present a valid Ghana Card, while foreigners are required to provide a valid Passport.
