    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to also support this amendment Bill and say that, indeed, going by the deaths that we have seen as a result of the alcohol menace in the last few weeks, as a responsible leader, even though I do not drink, this kind of amendment to this law will come in handy to give a hand to the Mututho team to create rehabilitation and treatment centres, so that we can care for the unfortunate aftermath of the kind of things that we have seen happening in the last few weeks. As a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee we are, indeed, prepared to financially support the Mututho team, so that the proposed rehabilitation centres can be created and funded, so that we can deal with the problem of alcoholism. I would like to say that, indeed, it is not only alcohol that has caused havoc to the lives of many Kenyans. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a House, we have sent a very strong signal to the NACADA that they also need to look at other drugs that are affecting the lives of many Kenyans. The use of hard drugs and the uncontrolled use of even some of the allowed drugs like khat is causing a lot of problems to the lives of many Kenyans in the region I come from. Many young people are suffering. Some of them do not go to school The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
