    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, some of these drug abuse cases are within villages. Some of those young people take them when they are at home. Within our learning institutions, we are taking care. If we find a student involved in drug substance abuse we handle that case. Otherwise, we have, within our learning institutions departments which have the mandate of dealing with prevention and rehabilitation of learners who have been involved in alcohol and drug abuse. We have also come up with a booklet titled “Learn to Say No to Drug Abuse”. This is incorporated in our learning institutions. Our teachers use them. We also have the facilitators’ handbook on life education in schools. We are also collaborating with NACADA in training our teachers on counselling and how to rehabilitate learners who have been involved in such practices. Those who are in the village or out of school, it would be difficult to reach them unless they are back to school. NACADA helps in tracing some of them. If we get them back to school, we try as much as possible to rehabilitate them."
