    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Mututho. I would also like to congratulate you for the great work you have done to ensure that alcohol does not consume our society - especially the youth - and to support the amendment. I would want to pinpoint many of the dangers that have been associated with alcoholism in this country from broken families, declined productivity, accidents and problems in our education system, to criminal activities and to declined health of individuals. Many of us are getting less healthy because of what is happening outside because of the alcohol menace. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we must also accept that there is a problem and, to resolve that problem we need to be more comprehensive. Firstly, our youth drink so much because they are unemployed and frustrated. We have to address that because whatever we do, if they are idle and they have the energy and education, this is to be expected. Our parents continue to be very lenient with their children and they are also bad examples themselves. They consume alcohol excessively at homes during parties and at outings with their own children. Children begin to think that, that is okay."
