    "content": "We have witnessed many road accidents in this country. After investigations, it is found out that the dead driver was driving under the influence of alcohol. Many youths have dropped out of school because they cannot concentrate in education. Many families have broken up. Disharmony has cropped into our homes as a result of one partner being drunk beyond control. Those are the problems that this Bill intends to cure. Making a special reference to Central Province, where I was for five years as a Provincial Commissioner, I want to confirm, just as the Mover has said, that there were many cases and many delegations of women, particularly from Muranga, Nyeri, Kirinyaga and Kiambu who came to complain to me that they were having social problems with their families. Their husbands were nowhere. They were there to be seen. They were not in charge of their families. They complained that their children were getting drunk to a point where they were not sure of getting grandsons and granddaughters because those men are not capable of performing the duties of a man once they got married. That situation has serious implications in the societal set up. It is the duty of this House to ensure that Kenyans get something that will keep this generation going on."
