"13 January - No Beer at Wedding Negotiations in Twic East
13 January - (Nairobi) – Local authorities have banned
the buying of beer as part of marriage negotiations in
Twic East County, Jonglei State, with effect from last
week. They suggest that the measure should be extended to
the whole of Greater Bor County. Paramount chief Duot
Ajang Duot said that buying a crate of beer costs over 50
USD. He says it is too expensive for ordinary people to
afford. The beer is usually bought by the groom’s family
as refreshment for the relatives of the bride. The chief
of Dachueek community, Reech Deng, also from Twic East
County, proposed that beer should be banned after he was
required to buy at least 5 bottles of beer for each
person during his son’s wedding negotiations. Wedding
negotiations usually involve a large number of people. He
realized that for him to provide enough beer for all the
bride’s relatives, he had to sell 3 cows which amounted
to over 2000 USD. The commissioner of Twic East County,
Diing Akol Diing, has decreed that for marriage
negotiations only traditional beer, known as ‘white
stuff’, which is cheap, should be used. Anyone found
violating the ruling will be imprisoned for 3 months and
will be fined 2 cows."
