    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to oppose this Report. The menace of alcoholism and drug abuse in this country is a national disaster. There is no other Kenyan who has shown the passion to fight drug abuse and alcoholism except Mr. John Mututho. We have seen Members of Parliament in this House---- Quite a number of them have court cases, yet they are seated here honourably as Members of Parliament, and they want to prevent Mr. Mututho from chairing the Board of NACADA. It is only in this House where we can fight the menace of drug abuse and alcoholism and we need to have a person of the calibre of Mr. Mututho to fight it. He has got all the qualification; we have seen affidavits from various Kenyans who have shown their support for Mr. Mututho. Since the operationalization of Mututho laws some women in various parts of this country have really appreciated it and even given birth; they had stayed for so long without getting children, because their men had become very irresponsible due to drug abuse and alcoholism."
