    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Before I make my contribution, I would like to welcome my girls from Malava Girls High School. Unfortunately, they are leaving but I would like them to feel welcome at the gallery. I rise to actually oppose the Motion because, personally, I feel that going into rehabilitation centres would be like encouraging young people to get into excessive drinking. I would recommend that instead of spending money on rehabilitation centres, it would be better to spend the money on controlling the consumption of alcohol. It is like we have very many centres that are providing alcohol. We have many persons supplying substandard alcoholic drinks. If we can empower the Mututho group to control the supply of such drinks, it will not be necessary for us to establish treatment centres as proposed. Personally, I have been at a place of work where some people have been victims of alcoholism. When such persons were asked to go for treatment, they refused. Those who went to rehabilitation centres for treatment eventually returned home and continued with the same habit. So, I oppose the Motion on those grounds. Thank you."
