    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I continue to contribute to this very, very important Bill, I am shocked that your Government has, in the last one month or so, has been complaining of Kenyans dying because of chang’aa and traffic accidents. How many police officers have you prosecuted for the presence of chang’aa in a certain location? How many police officers have you prosecuted for the presence of chang’aa ? If it is illegal for Kenyans to drink chang’aa, the amount of chang’aa drunk in Kenya per month is more than the production by the Kenya Breweries Limited per year! But there is no prosecution of those police officers and those Administration Police officers who allow chang’aa dens to exist. You might even be surprised that some chang’aa dens can even be in police stations. Why do they allow them to be there? It is because of the absence of an Authority like the one proposed by this Bill. Now that we are going to have this Authority in place, you will have to prosecute police officers in areas where you find rampant cases of chang’aa . Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you hear about traffic offences, police officers--- Yes, I am sure you are aware that they run toll stations from Nairobi to Nakuru. You are going to find about five toll stations. How many police officers has the Minister prosecuted for taking bribes?"
