We came up with a few observations, especially with regard to the young lads; those who are seated on my left and on my right. Alcohol is not a friend to anyone. Temporarily, alcohol can be something that makes you feel high or forget some problems but, in the long run, it interferes with your brain. Your communication pathways in the brain get weaker with time and it makes it harder for it to control anything. You lose balance, judgement, friends and, if you are a husband or wife, you can lose your spouse. If you are employed, you can also lose your job. I am against allowing the county governments to license poison that kills people. If you are given authority to license something, you license products that can grow and sustain your people. But if you license poison…"

"content": "We read in papers and also witness many people dying after the consumption of alcohol. To me, only safe products should be licensed. I would like the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) to take charge at the national level. NACADA used to be active some days back and I do not know how it was reduced to the county level. County governments have enough on their plates and hence, it is my belief that alcohol should be regulated at the national level. Otherwise, we are going to raise children who will never grow up to build this country. The country is going down the drain because of misuse of those licenses. I fully support the Report that the Special Funds Accounts Committee came up with."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this Report on Alcohol and Drug Abuse. Alcohol has really affected many people in our country. Why is there so much influence of alcohol and substance abuse, especially amongst the youth? We even have cases of university students who are not able to complete their education because of peer pressure and availability of cheap liquor which is affordable and easily accessible; influence from their peers; unemployment which has contributed to substance abuse; and a lot of stress due to unemployment; and other social problems which the youth are exposed to. As a country, it is important to be keen on the people we license to sell alcohol. When licensing was devolved to the counties, it became very easy for people to get those licences and sell any kind of cheap liquor which is then accessed by our youth."
