    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I think it is the basis or really where we go wrong in terms of all the other pillars we think about. Our Vision 2030 is not going to be a reality in terms of the social, economic and the political pillar when we have youth, for example, who cannot go to school and stay in school and when we have people who cannot work and gainfully be employed because most of them are drunkards. Certain organizations have tried to come up with policies so that they actually try to help those who are in those organizations so that they can be assisted to come out of that particular situation. It is unfortunate in Kenya that despite the Mututho laws, people have continued with their drinking habits, really showing resistance to this whole idea and the fact that many of the youth get into it because of peer pressure and yet the consequences are so dire. It really puts this nation in a very difficult situation. Mr. Speaker, Sir as much as organizations like NACADA have tried to put forward a proposal where they say that they are going to caution and go into research and dissemination and the various efforts to control, the Kenya Police Anti-narcotics Drugs Unit have also tried to put a lot of effort into this area, they have not been completely successful. The consequences have been mentioned and I will not go into them. But the preventive measures, especially those to do with the rehabilitation are very expensive and the average Kenyan is not able to access those facilities. I have been requested to make an amendment to this Motion as follows:- I beg to move: THAT the Motion be amended by deleting all the words appearing---"
