    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I join the rest of the hon. Members in congratulating hon. Mututho, it reminds me of yesterday. From yesterday, good things seem to be happening in this country. This is because yesterday, we talked about price controls. That was, indeed, a Bill of the people. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, today, we are talking about this Bill which, in my view, again, is a Bill of the people for the following reasons. Now that this is going to become law, members of the Provincial Administration, who have taken upon themselves to create kangaroo courts in the pretext that they are trying to regulate alcohol, now, this is going to be something of the past. Alcohol will be regulated under this law properly. There will be no kangaroo courts and our women in the rural areas are not going to be harassed. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the wisdom of this Bill is that anybody who continues to sell alcohol to a customer and he drinks himself silly will be blacklisted. This is very good because it means that people will now be assisted by law to regulate alcohol. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, we have provided that people cannot be allowed to drink alcohol at any time. That, drinking hours will actually be clearly defined, it gives an opportunity for especially men of this country to spend morning hours on the farm before the law allows them to go and enjoy their traditional drink in the evening. I beg to support."
