"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I may proceed, you probably were not watching the whole House. When I mentioned the name of Mututho, you should have seen the molar tooth of Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. He was so happy that actually I know the facts. I was pointing out about the law being used to come down heavy on inevitable habits of the population. All you do is you send them under. I mentioned boot legging in the United States of America (US). When the State purported to outlaw the consumption of alcohol in the US, it went up by more than 100 per cent. Profiteers joined in, criminal gangs joined in and all manner of people joined in because in many countries people enjoy doing what the State does not like. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had said that if the professor wanted to amend the NACADA law, he could have had the courage to do so instead of purporting to give more authority and more money to NACADA through a different law when they have a law that governs them. More importantly, consumption of alcohol per se is not an issue in this country. Out of 40 million plus Kenyans, the number of Kenyans who consume alcohol cannot be more than 15 to 20 per cent. You cannot call that a crisis. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
