Gray withdraw from the capital. Good evening, Amiva Chipa. The Gaudeng government has resolved to temporarily halt the issuing of liquor licenses to taverns. Gaudeng Premier Banyazil Soufi made the announcement at a national prayer day and memorial that was held at the Alberton Civic Center earlier today. Lesoufi says these measures have been put in place to curb substance abuse in the province and to ensure that mass shootings like the one in Weddela near Carter.
Do not take place again. Last weekend, 18 people were killed at a tavern when Kanman opened fire. Musufi elaborates. As I said, there will be noise, but at that noise, no. We are prepared to confront that noise. The government that I have the honor to lead, we have taken a decision now. The taverns and the license of liquor that we have now are enough. No more new liquor licenses. We need to monitor those.
Have them, and if they break the law, we remove the license so that you don't allow what happened in Wenten to befall us.
