    "content": "because I asked the County Executive Committee (CEC) Member who was my officer in the other administration, Munguti, and he said that every morning, every CEC must visit the road and there is a duty roster to ensure that they check whether the contractors are doing anything. Suddenly, it has happened. So, we must ask these Governors – do you think they know anything? Sometimes they refuse to go and benchmark in the nearest county. In West Pokot, for example, they have run away from Wei Wei Irrigation Scheme, which is in our own county and they have not seen it. But all the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) have gone to Israel to see drip irrigation. We do not need drip irrigation; we have rivers there that we can dam, just like we have dammed there. I think they went to see the Christian historical sites, and so on, and so forth. These are some of the things that we need to do. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to laud the Committee for coming up with the amendments to the National Authority Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) Act. Today, many people are dying because of funny brews that are being manufactured and sold within the counties. If the counties can work together with the national Government, we will arrest this problem. I come from the Trans Nzoia-West Pokot border, and our people are affected by brews that are coming from Uganda. They call it “Mandule;” and it is a very dangerous drink. I do not know who licenses them, but these drinks have paralyzed humankind. In the years to come, we may have a problem that we usually hear happening in central province. We now want to step in and ask the governor, the county government and the national Government to step in and see how these drinks can be stopped from harming our people. Why would somebody, who has an appetite for more money, kill others to get more money yet they can still make money because people want to drink if they can manufacture decent drinks? As a Christian, I want all of them to get saved so that they stop drinking."
