    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me time to indulge in this matter. I rise to support. I am so glad that this particular matter has been brought by the Committee. Even as the previous speaker was speaking, I was trying to take particular caution on the elements that deal with the collusion with traffickers. They normally say that when you want to destroy a home, you introduce the young girls and boys in that family to either alcohol or hard drugs. Drugs have really destroyed homes and brilliant brains in this country. Coming up with a law that mitigates the spread of use of drugs and getting stiff penalties on people who traffic drugs and take the drugs to our young men is timely and needs to be supported. As I support this Bill, I appreciate the Committee for also looking at the element of the communication systems and channels that traffickers use. They use very sophisticated systems. As a nation, we need to go a notch higher and counter what they use in order to bring down the scourge and menace of drugs. When it also comes to the element of rehabilitation, we should spread rehabilitation facilities across the country."
