The Japanese government has launched an appeal to young people to drink alcohol.

Japan wants more of its young people to drink alcohol because it has been discovered that less alcohol is consumed by the younger generation than their parents especially since the Covid-19 pandemic.

The government through the national tax agency said, the lack of consumption of alcohol has reduced the revenue gotten from alcoholic beverages.

To generate more revenue, Japan's national tax agency intervened and held a national competition.

The "Sake Viva!" initiative asks young people to come up with strategies and ideas to make drinking more appealing to the younger generation. The contest is for those aged 20-39 years.

The National Tax Agency website says, “The domestic alcoholic beverage market is shrinking due to demographic changes such as the declining birthrate and ageing population, and lifestyle changes due to the impact of COVID-19,”

“In this project, by asking young people to propose their business plans, we will appeal to young people for the development and promotion of Japanese alcoholic beverages, and at the same time, we will revitalize the industry by announcing excellent plans.”

Morocco has reported the first confirmed case of monkeypox in Africa, making it the first non-endemic country to do so.

According to the African Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, the afflicted person has a history of traveling to France and is being held in isolation (CDC).

The Africa CDC announced at the end of May that people who had tested positive for the disease across the continent had not been overseas before becoming infected.

The connection to travel to France necessitates more in-depth research and sequencing on the continent.

Even if monkeypox was spreading internationally, Dr. Ahmed Ogwell, interim head of the Africa CDC, stated during his weekly briefing that any intervention and strategy to restrict the virus should begin in Africa.

Africa, and nowhere else, should be the starting point for vaccination," he stated.

Angry demonstrators from Kpassagizia Town put up a roadblock in Konia on routes connecting Zorzor and Voinjamai cities, demanding justice for the deceased Kolubah B. Tarnue.

According to sources, irate demonstrators believed to be locals of Kpassagazia Town threw up roadblocks and knocked down a house early Wednesday morning, May 31, 2022, demanding justice for the late Kolubah Bogue Tarnue, who went hunting and was subsequently found lifeless.

When the crisis erupted, some citizens of Kpassagizia criticized two of the 15-member Jury members who claimed there was no foul play in their son's murder.

They requested that the police and town authorities arrest the two individuals as suspects, but the police stated that it is their opinion, and their unwillingness to arrest led to a protest by several Kpassagizia residents.

Even though the LNP has not determined the cause of death, 13 of the 15-member jury indicated that fouls were committed, while the other two stated that no fouls were committed.

According to the story, the deceased was originally from Kpassagizia but had relocated to Konia in search of greener pastures.

Kolubah Bogie Tarnue's lifeless body was discovered in a village in Konia Township, Zorzor District, on May 30, 2022, after he went hunting on Saturday, May 28, 2022. (Monday)

According to Ms. Kabbah, the deceased's wife, her husband left the house to go hunting in the bush like he always did, but he never returned home on time.

She went back to the farm later to see if the husband was still there, but he was nowhere to be seen..
Ms. Kabbah spent the entire day on the farm with the workers, hoping that her husband would return for the hunting bush, but she was unsuccessful, she said.

However, she informed the town officials, and the town chief, Mulbah Garboi, quickly formed a search committee to locate the late Kolubah; regrettably, his lifeless body was discovered in the jungle.

Police have dispersed the demonstrators and initiated an investigation into the death's cause.

Press Release for Immediate Publication
-MPW Clarifies Zoning Matter in Red Light Involving Rep. Yekeh Kolubah

On March 3, 2022 at 10:42AM, the Office of the Acting Minister (then), Hon. Ruth Coker-Collins received a communication from Representative Yekeh Kolubah, informing the Minister that he could not attend a zoning hearing which was scheduled for March 2, 2022 as it was “interfering with his schedule at the House of Representatives”.

It can be recalled that on March 1, 2022 a stop work order was issued by Zoning Officers in fulfillment of their duties as described in the Executive Law, Chapter 27 which vests, in the Zoning Division, the statutory authority to carry out the following:

To design, construct, improve and maintain, directly or by contract all highways, streets, roads, bridges and storm sewers
To be in charge of, either directly or by contract, the construction of sanitary sewers, hospitals, public buildings and other public works, amongst others.

The Report was submitted, and the below finding was made:
• That Representative Kolubah could not produce a copy of his permit, rather a copy of drawings with individual signatures; one of which is still with the Ministry
• That the document presented did not include a payment receipt from the General Revenue Account
• That the land’s original owner was Saye Sipppi in 1986

Drawing from these evidential and authentic information as contained in the Report on the Matter involving Rep. Kolubah, the Ministry expresses dismay over the willful, unwarranted and deliberate acts of violation of the Zoning Laws of Liberia by some citizens, with specific emphasis on public officials who continue to flagrantly circumvent these statues; thereby undermining the works of the Ministry of Public Works and the Government of Liberia by extension.

Therefore, the Ministry calls on the Public to do the needful by contacting the Zoning Division pursuant to Section 102 of the Zoning Law which provides: “zoning permits shall hereafter be secured from the zoning officer prior to the construction, er****on, or alteration of any building or structure or parts thereof, any sign larger than three square feet in area”.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Public of Works characterizes as reckless, outlandish and disparaging the outburst of Representative Kolubah in Plenary on Tuesday, May 17, 2022 on the person of the Minister-Designate, Hon. Ruth Coker-Collins.

The Office of the Minister-Designate therefore encourages Representative Kolubah to immediately retract his comments within forty-eight hours or risk a lawsuit.
