"content": "national concern that has also brought in the presidency to fight against the menace. This menace is with us as a business and as a matter of relaxation. We believe that Africa is the only part of the world that is left intact. According to our enemies, Africa must be destroyed through drug abuse. Therefore, I stand to support this Motion and say it is high time this country seriously deliberated the matter. As we deliberate on the cost of fuel and the cost of living, we need to discuss the fate of drugs and drug abuse urgently. Each Member of this Parliament should take this as a very serious concern or else we will not have voters of tomorrow. Drug abuse has gone all the way to primary schools. It is also available in churches and bars. It is openly available on the streets and in security installations. As far as I am concerned, it is a national disaster. As we propose to move ahead, we should think about changing some legislation. We have to state that things like tobacco, narcotics, and all those kinds of items, are no longer good for our society. We must take hard decisions. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
