    "content": "The Government also has taken the following measures to ensure that illicit brews are not sold to underage youth: (i) Involvement of village elders and Nyumba Kumi Initiative to sensitize the bar owners and illicit brew dealers on sale of alcohol to the youth. (ii) Monitoring the activities of the youth both in the rural and urban areas. (iii) Regular operation in bar premises and illicit brew dens. (iv) Encouraging parents, guardians and the clergy to sensitize the youth on morals. For now, churches have been opened and they are encouraged to do that and help the youth. (v) Use of the media to sensitize youth on effects of alcohol to their lives. Finally, the Government has taken the following measures to curb the smuggling of Simba Waragi sachets in Kenya: (i) Intensified sharing of information between the security and law enforcement agencies and the members of the public. (ii) Preventive measures including ad hoc police barriers and patrols to check on cross- border smugglers operating in Kenya and neighbouring countries. (iii) Impromptu raids on businesses suspected to be dealing with Simba Waragi sachets. (iv) Holding of regular cross-border meetings and collaboration with the neighbouring countries. I wish to table the data for Simba Waragi sachets and also the people who have been arrested for getting involved with illicit brews during the wrong hours or sale of alcohol to underage youth. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
