Kagame defends purge on substandard alcohol

Rwandan President Paul Kagame is defending his country's purge on alcoholic drinks imported from neighboring countries that did not meet local standards, stating it is for public health. This decision followed the Rwanda Food and Drugs Authority's suspension of 52 alcoholic beverages linked to consumer deaths. Kagame emphasized that people's lives are more important than profits, despite protests from standards agencies in Kenya and Uganda.
