    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also support this Report. Indeed, as my fellow colleagues have said, when we go down to our constituencies, most of our young generation has been totally destroyed simply because of the alcoholic drinks which are now rampant. We do not have a central place to identify those people who are giving out the illicit alcohol. There is no central place where the reports are taken to. We have, on one hand, county governments and on the other hand the national Government. If we say health is devolved but some issues are not properly outlined in terms of how they should be dealt with, then we put our communities in a very awkward situation. The way our young generation is indulging in alcoholism signifies that, as a country, we are not able to control and even know how our youths are faring. I support this Report and urge this Assembly to make sure that we have regulations that cut across to caution county governments on what they are supposed to do, specifically those that licenses people who are not supposed to be licensed. I support and urge the Committee to make sure that the Report is implemented so that we help the new generations. If we are not careful, we shall not have a country. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
