"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this Report on Alcohol and Drug Abuse. Alcohol has really affected many people in our country. Why is there so much influence of alcohol and substance abuse, especially amongst the youth? We even have cases of university students who are not able to complete their education because of peer pressure and availability of cheap liquor which is affordable and easily accessible; influence from their peers; unemployment which has contributed to substance abuse; and a lot of stress due to unemployment; and other social problems which the youth are exposed to. As a country, it is important to be keen on the people we license to sell alcohol. When licensing was devolved to the counties, it became very easy for people to get those licences and sell any kind of cheap liquor which is then accessed by our youth."
