    "content": "the audience. However, when we want to communicate with adults and then we are putting it at the time when children are with their parents, it is wrong. If we have to have a society with high morals, we need to make sure that relevant authorities including the Cabinet Secretary in charge, should be the ones to approve the content and visuals. It is not just the content but visuals too that are used to depict the attractiveness of alcohol. Alcohol is actually supposed to be something that is consumed by people who are over 18 here in Kenya. If you look at America, alcohol is sold to persons who are over 21. I will try and see if we can raise the age of alcohol consumption to be 21 years. When it comes to adverts, we are not only talking of electronic adverts. Even in the restaurants, some of the food courts have advertisements that are seductive and are luring children into wrong behaviour. Food courts are places that parents go and so these point of sale advertisements should be purely put in bars and clubs. As a country, we also have to ensure that we protect minors because we are exposing them to too much. We know that YouTube exposes our children to a lot. We should also look at the content, how we can manage advertisements that our children are exposed to and educate parents on how they can put various censors on children’s electronic media. It is an all-rounder. We cannot just look at one area. I absolutely support the Bill."
