Ads ban unwise

As much as the government wants to help its youths, banning alcohol adverts on TV and billboards won’t help. The youth actually have their ways of getting drinks they want. Also, the ban of the adverts will lead to unemployment and loss of incomes to advertising and media companies and many other groups. After banning them, what about the matches in Kenya that are sponsored by the alcohol companies? The government should reconsider the matter and allow the adverts to continue.

Though to some extent media influence the young minds' actually even the old one. May be a complete ban on the advertisements is not a great idea. But the one that they had initiated eqarly on banning billboards near schools was splendid.
