Don’t open pubs, spots to the public from 6am to 6pm on December 7 – Ghana Drunkards Association to bar owners

Beverage Consumers and Bar Owners of Ghana, otherwise known as Ghana Drunkards Association has directed all bar owners in the country to keep bars and spots closed between 6 am and 6 pm on Saturday, December 7.
