    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the repeal of the Traditional Liquor Licensing Act, Cap.122, was done by this House as part of the tidying up of the Miscellaneous Licences (Amendment) Act, which were debated in this House and passed as part of consolidating the provisions of the Traditional Liquor Licensing Act with the Liquor Licensing Act. It was a matter of moving all the provisions of that into the Liquor Licensing Act. Consequently, there has been no authorization for any one to brew beer without following the Liquor Licensing Act as has been alleged by some of the leaders. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, because this matter was debated in this very House and was passed when these Members were in this House, it is important that we always tell our people out there the truth in terms of what the law says instead of using it politically to confuse our people and make them start breaking the law on the understanding that a law has been changed. The repeal was basically because the provisions had been amalgamated with Cap.121. It does not allow anyone to brew any traditional liquor unless they are authorised under Cap.121. I just wanted to make that clarification so that, as leaders, we can go and tell our people the truth."
