"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have been in the football game. I remember at one point Kenya Breweries offered to sponsor football activities in the country. In this regard, they had to display their advertisements. If we are going to encourage manufacturers of alcohol, under the social corporate responsibility, to sponsor activities during school holidays or weekends, then the question that they will ask is: “Are we going to display our products?” Will that have an effect? Will it help in terms of reducing the abuse? It is very unfortunate that we have lost so many people through illicit brews. Recreational activities will help the youth because they will now spend time doing something meaningful like drama, football, or athletics. I do not know whether these manufacturers will offer to sponsor recreational activities if they are not allowed to display their products. Again, it is a big challenge for us. Manufacturers are required by law to display warning signs on their products."
