"content": "take Lager or Tusker, you become as strong as an elephant. So, they will take so many bottles of Tusker because they would like to be what is described in the advertisements. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, these advertisements should be abolished. We should call it off; we should not allow this to continue. But we cannot do it because the cartels which are there in the Republic will not allow that because they are all making money. What makes such people in Kenya to suffer because of taking illicit brews? Is it through the manufacturers’ fault? That is not true because they would like it to appear as if their beer is the best and it is taken by most people. But, of course, people will say the best beer is that one which will make them drunk within a very short time so that, maybe, they can go home or they can sleep for the rest of the time, as they say, so that they can forget the problems that they have. That is why even opium smoking was invented and encouraged in China during the time of communism. The Chinese and the people in those communist countries wanted to forget the many problems that they had. So, they introduced opium smoking in Vietnam and China, but later on after realizing the effects of this habit, they had to curb or prevent young people from taking such drugs. So, even in Kenya, we need to think about beer drinking and that is why the amendments are coming. These amendments are coming in handy because of what happened the other day when Kenya lost more than 100 people through such drinking. But, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what amazes me is that these drinks were manufactured by prominent people, either using molasses; and we know what molasses is made of. We know the factories where this molasses come from and some of these people are known by the Government. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and the National Intelligence Service (NIS) are able to establish who is transporting what, but to our amazement, these people go scot-free."
