    "content": "It is a pity that in a country with a law reform commission and the Office of the Attorney-General and an authority like NACADA, it has taken the efforts of a private hon. Member to draw a bill with such far-reaching implications to this House. Therefore, I commend Mr. Mututho for the industry and purpose that is reflected in this Bill. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I dare say that should we pass this Bill, as I would urge the hon. Members to do, it will be one of the most important pieces of legislation ever passed by the Tenth Parliament. I hope and trust that a lot more hon. Members will take interest in what it seeks to do. At the outset, I want to commend the Mover for seeing it fit to bring all these laws that have been with us since the colonial era into focus and bring them into one piece of law that we can look upon to bring a sense of justice to the prevailing situation in this country. There is no doubt at all that this country is a dying nation. The majority of our workforce and youth that do not get opportunities to further their education go into alcohol consumption."
