    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know many Senators want to contribute. The law is not enough. The amendments that we are pursuing in this House will not be enough to solve this social problem. I think there is need for us to start a national campaign and support NACADA beyond the law. I think time has come for us to involve other social actors; the religious organizations and women groups which have done quite a bit, if you can remember the group that we saw in Kangemi. Over and above the law, we need social mobilization. We need to be able to campaign against alcohol just the way we are campaigning against HIV/AIDS. It is because this country will lag back and all the reforms in the Vision 2030 will not happen because we cannot develop this country with drunkards. We cannot develop this country with sick and dying people. Alcohol just means doom. Alcoholism is dark and a retrogressive step for this country. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
