    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, I hear what the Leader of the Minority Party and Prof. Ojiambo are saying. However, this amendment has nothing to do with control of pricing. That is why the wording is very particular that it is minimum input cost. The reason is simple. We are all aware that hundreds of thousands if not millions of our young people are dying and others are maimed by the consumption of illicit alcohol. This illicit alcohol is manufactured using all manner of shortcuts and chemicals mixed to an extent people sell a concoction of chemicals in the pretext that it is clean and fit for human consumption. They sell it as alcohol that has been manufactured using ethanol at a price below industrial alcohol. Therefore, this is in an effort to safeguard all those millions of young people who are suffering through the consumption of illicit brews. The Committee was very particular to make sure that they do not control prices but safeguard. If you are producing alcohol using legal ethanol in the right standards, there is a certain minimum cost that you would have to bear."
