    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the bottle tops are the ones that draw taxes. So, if you can relate the two you can relate with the companies that are involved in prudent production. I have detailed information about the empty bottles. However, I do not have information on the bottle tops. So, I ask with a lot of respect that the Hon. Chair of the Committee asks for a clarification so that we get information on the bottle tops, so that we can relate to the empty bottles and have our issues prosecuted. Hon. Speaker, you saw the other day at a place called Ndindiri, outside Ruaka – a place which the new Vice-Chair of that Committee knows – and in Gatundu where members of the public, particularly women, are crying about cheap liquor during the COVID-19 period. His Excellency the President cannot close some of these businesses forever. He closed them since February. During the COVID-19 period when liquor businesses have been closed you see mothers crying that there is a lot of illicit brew. I think it is also related to COVID-19, but for my purposes, I would wish that to happen in Ruaraka, where young people, men and women drink proper liquid which is certified as spirits and water which is blessed. I did not want to turn into Swahili and say maji haramu . I want them to drink water blessed by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). This concerns us in Ruaraka. Otherwise, you get young people indulging in consumption of illicit brews, which is a big problem in our work industry. Hon. Speaker, I am thankful for the response I have received except for those amendments that the Chair can look at."
