    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also think that - at page 137 on the authority to establish those regulations – we have not taken into account the adverse effects of social media and IT on our youths. I think it was in yesterday’s paper where an article was talking about the minds of our youth being corrupted by what is going on in the social media. There was a picture of a youth texting somebody. The representation in this particular board must include an expert in that area so that we also look at that and see how we can stop promoting alcoholism on the social media and other such areas. We may have somebody from the media council. However, what we need is an IT Media person. I suggest that when this Bill goes to the Committee, before it comes back to us, we look at that. Let me also mention another area that I thought we should look at. This is the area of county funds. If you look at the area of county funds, you will see that the functions there appear to be okay. However, the most important function that should be given to that county fund is to engage in activities which prevent our people from becoming alcoholics. What we have there is basically the council being concerned with treating people who are already alcoholics and who should be going to the rehabilitation centres for treatment."
