The Divisional Officer for Mbankomo, a small town near Cameroons capital, Yaounde has prohibited the commercialisation of drinks at funerals.
The official in a May 11, 2022 decision remarked that the sale of drinks at funerals was a “shameful” practice.
It is for this reason, that “I have forbidden the sale of drinks at funerals in all parts of the Mbankomo sub division,” the decision read.
All those who go against the decision he warned, will face repressive measures.
