If you are a government officer tasked with the responsibility of maintaining a good image for the government, exercise self-control when you take alcohol.
It could be the reason why the portfolio you have built for many years while in government service will come down crumbling, leaving you with only memories while perhaps you languish in jail.
A Nakuru administrator treated his residents to a rare spectacle after he had one too many and they destabilized his fifth sense of responsibility and ended up sprawling on the ground talking in a drunken stupor.
Mawingu sub-location Chief Joseph Rotich could now be the most famous person on the internet after a video surfaced showing his true self when he is drunk.
He is heard mumbling that he cannot stop drinking; he would rather quit his job and continue drinking as he vowed that during his initiation ceremony.
Today, he is a man in great worries because besides being sacked unceremoniously, he will face the judge and answer to charges of abetting the sale of illicit brew in his area of jurisdiction.
This is the aftermath of being a drunkard who does not observe limits and one who never thinks of the consequences after you have sobered up.
Many people blame some of the bad actions they commit while they are drunk but truth be told, they are conscious of every move they make whether bad or good.
It is only that when one is tipsy, you gain courage to do virtually anything and later blame it on being high from alcohol.
Rotich’s case was only an example to other chiefs in the same habit because his was not an isolated case.
If you have a government directive to crackdown on illegal illicit brewers, you execute it. You never bend the law because you are an administrator.
