    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill by my brother, Mr. Mututho. I think it is an important Bill for this country. Alcohol and, particularly, illegal brews affect all Kenyans, whether you drink or not. As a country we have lived under the delusion that poor Kenyans do not have a right to partake of alcohol. I think it is a delusion because alcohol consumption affects all of us. Indeed, alcohol consumption is probably as old as creation itself. Even if you look in the Holy Bible, there are numerous examples of alcohol consumption. I do not believe that consuming alcohol is bad. It is probably the way we go about consuming alcohol that may be bad. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a county we owe it to our people. Particularly, we leaders are entrusted with legislation in this county. We owe it to our country that those Kenyans who want to partake of alcohol responsibly can do so in an environment that is mindful of their health."
