    "content": "in terms of alcohol that is causing a lot of harm in our country. In Elgeyo-Marakwet County, we have had so many young people who lost their lives because of drug abuse and alcohol. There was a time there was a company that was selling bottled alcohol to some people in Iten and about five of them died. It is important to note that our county has already declared that alcohol is a serious problem. We have banned all kinds of alcohol in the county. Many people have been arrested but that is not enough. We need concerted efforts considering that this is a function that is also allocated to counties. It is important that we do our best as a House to ensure that the national Government and the President - and I really want to commend the President for taking a step including the deportation of Chinedu to his own country to show that this is not a safe haven for drug peddlers. We need to continue. I will request the Senators in this House, as a show of solidarity that if you are an alcohol taker, you can go public and say that you have reduced by how many bottles and perhaps subsequently do away with it as a way of showing an example. For example, Sen. Mungai has said that he has never tasted alcohol and he is very healthy. We can do the same to ensure that our country becomes different in the region. Thank you."
