    "content": "(Sen. (Prof). Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, in reply to the matters raised by the two Senators, I will just say one thing; they have just confirmed my thesis. For example, the story of Noah is a sad story for parents and children. A father, a grown up man with sons and daughters, because of alcohol, can remove his clothes and expose his children to an eternal curse. This is the more reason why even today, we should control ourselves by making sure we do not drink in Parliament. Parliament is a working place. Why do you want to sell alcohol during working hours in a work place, or even sell it at all? The Military Barracks is a working station for our disciplined forces. Why do you want to sell alcohol in a working place? Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Bill is well intended. This Bill does not criminalise drinking. It says that if you must drink, drink at the right time, with the right people and do not carry your children to bars. These days, especially the younger parents – this is a big abomination - I have seen fathers, people with their spouses, carrying little girls and boys and entertaining them the whole day in a bar and these children are watching horrible things that should only be left to parents and adults who can choose what to see and what not to see. So with those very many remarks, I want to say that despite the vehement opposition by the Senate Minority Leader - who is not even reading from the same scripts with his troops because some of the troops from the Minority Side like the Sen. Muthama – are completely sold out that this Bill will help this society. I wish the Senate Minority Leader the best of luck in his opposition."
