    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to render my support to this Bill because its intentions are very noble. The Bill intends to shorten the time that it takes to acquire licences in Kenya. That contributes to better management. So, I support this Bill. The only thing I would like to remind the Minister for Finance is that as he incorporates the Traditional Liquor Licensing Act, Cap.122, he should bear in mind that there is a very important definition of what traditional liquor is. If that definition is omitted, he will find a lot of problems in 3228 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 26, 2006 getting revenue on traditional liquor. The definition of traditional liquor is that it is an alcoholic beverage whose fermentation has not been arrested. This is because the liquor continues to ferment when you take it. If you call it Muratina or any other name, the people who prepare that drink will change the name and, therefore, the law which mentions that particular name will be rendered out of use. Therefore, I wanted to make the point that the Minister should not forget that definition. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I beg to support."
