Côte d'Ivoire has banned
the production and sale of alcohol in sachets, government spokesman Bruno Kone
has said.
BBC
Africa Live report continues:
The
popular sachets - containing rum, vodka or other spirits - are sold for prices
ranging from 200 to 1,000 CFA francs (US$0.40 to US$2).
Mr
Kone says the government has banned the sachets on public health grounds, to
prevent alcoholism.
A
tweet announcing the measure on RTI, the state broadcaster, was followed by
several replies casting doubt on whether the ban will really be
implemented.
