    "content": "I want to join my Committee to support this important Bill. I belong to the Committee. The issue of drugs we are discussing in the House today is very serious in the country. Why I am saying that? No region in this country has been spared by this problem. It is all over. To make things worse, our children – our sons and daughters – have become part of this problem. I can say in this Chamber without any fear of contradiction that our universities have become centres of drug distribution. If you go to university, you will find your daughter and my son, whom we have taken many years to mentor; whom we have taken to Sunday school for many years, and for who we have paid school fees for many years… Immediately they join university, they do well in the first year but come the second year, your son or my daughter says that they are tired of education. When you try to find out why, you cannot get the reason. What has happened? They have been mainstreamed in the drug distribution chain. That is why I say this Bill is very important to this country. That is why I thank my Committee for coming up with this punitive kind of measures to make sure that those who engage in this kind of activity – those who distribute and those who supply – are punished accordingly."
