    "content": "As I conclude, I alert the House that Hon. Sankok, before he decided to trivialise the matter, mentioned about our children being given food substances that are laced with drugs. I have learnt from my local administration of a sweet that is being sold in shopping centres next to schools at Kshs1. Children and teachers have confessed and this is something I am following up. Children go to class and are not able to concentrate. That sweet is laced with a drug called Kuber. It is sold over the counter at Kshs1. Children are becoming addicts and are stealing from their parents to purchase the sweet. I urge this House that we pass this Bill, so that we can follow these criminals. The ones who transport the chemicals and the ones who manufacture the drugs should be put on the spot. It is also important that we regulate over-the-counter drugs. I am aware of some chemists that sell tablets very cheaply at Kshs10 and you see young people over lunch time taking a soda with a drug and they totally become addicts."
