Addressing the press from Northern Uganda Media Club on Monday, he said that the “high and first growing numbers of bars across this northern Uganda, especially Gulu is posing threat to the believers”.
“This high numbers in drinking joints is leading to the high number of crimes and suicidal cases within the region and laziness among community especially the youth who have descended to drinking alcohol and prositution,” he added.
