Minister Blames Energy Drinks For High Teenage Pregnancies
Uganda’s State Minister for Gender and Culture, Peace Mutuuzo has blamed high teenage pregnancies in the country on energy drinks.
Mutuuzo decried that young people consume energy drinks to enhance their sexual prowess, with the hope of increasing their libido.
“There are a lot of energy drinks in the market these days that deceive our people that they will improve their manpower. This makes me wonder, what do our young people need manpower for? Are they planning to go to war?”
“Once the young men get intoxicated with these drinks, they don’t spare our young girls”. she said.
The minister also stated that manufacturers of the energy drink brands use attractive names for their products.
“Majority of these energy drinks have been baptized with delicious names like Mukama Nayamba, Aleluya, Praise God, and nowadays you see born again people rushing for these drinks,” Mutuuzo added.
She urged the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) to intervene and regulate the market.
