"content": "being sold in this country. It is important that this law is implemented to the letter. The law initially liberated the youth of this country from the bondage of taking brews. The brews being taken in some parts of this country have ruined families. They have caused breakdown of families and wrecked the youth of this country. Therefore, we will be calling upon the security agencies in this country to make sure that they rise to the occasion to ensure that illicit brews are not manufactured, and that brewers are arrested and prosecuted so that Kenyans can engage in activities which are geared towards improving the economy of this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, some businesses which have been operating near learning institutions had been closed. The owners of such businesses could have taken loans from banks. The closure of such businesses brought about joblessness in society. Therefore, the enactment of this law will create the necessary environment for closed businesses to be re-opened to create jobs for our youth. Once enacted, this law should be implemented by school principals because at times students have been found to have taken brew to school. Such behaviour can jeopardise discipline in our schools and affect performance of students in national examinations. Therefore, this Bill addresses some very serious challenges, which have caused marriages to break down. We have seen mothers carry babies on their backs and gone to brew dens. The implementation of this Bill, once enacted into law, will stop this development. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, chiefs and other security agencies must take their duties more seriously and ensure that consumption of alcohol is reduced in the country. With those few remarks, I support the amendment Bill."
