The Anna Catherina Islamic Complex (ACIC) and the Guyana United Sadr Islamic Anjuman (GUSIA) have both expressed their “full support” for the government’s 2.00am curfew imposed on night clubs and bars in Guyana.
According to a press release yesterday from the institutions, they have issued a call to all religious and social groups to support the government’s decision “as these are efforts needed to curb the lawlessness in our society.”
Further, “Drinking costs money and negatively impact upon the financial resources particularly of a poor family.” The release said. A paper by Bonu et al (2004) had been quoted as stating the adverse child health effects of alcohol use are primarily through two distal determinants (indirect effects) – forgone household disposable income and caretakers’ time for childcare.
Additionally, both organisations expressed dismay at the Private Sector Commission’s recent statement calling for the rescinding of the 2.00am curfew.
