    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. When we were young, we used to have 4K Clubs. During holidays, children went to farming institutions to learn life skills and a lot of other skills. They were also taught to avoid harmful things like alcohol. Alcohol manufacturers should join NACADA and the county governments to contribute to the fight against drug abuse. They should ensure that our children do not just have sports, but also learn other skills. These clubs were very useful. If you go to Wambugu Farm, you will find some children going there during holidays to learn farming skills, especially in farming areas. Even if we say that alcoholic drinks should only be sold to persons who are over 18 years old, when one goes to the counter to buy alcoholic drinks, even if he or she looks young, nobody asks him or her for an identity card. In Europe, if you look young when you are 30 years old, you will have to produce an identity card. We must make it compulsory for anybody buying alcohol to produce an identity card before they can get it. Those of us who take alcohol are in the habit of sending our children to kiosks to buy Tusker baridi for us in the evening. They are lazy to go to the kiosk. This habit makes children to feel that taking alcohol is not a big deal. As we dispose of containers, let us ensure that we make proper use of them. Once we ensure that corporations control the disposal of the containers, we can create employment in the areas where alcohol is sold and also make our environment clean. I do not think I have to use my 10 minutes because most of the other points have already been addressed. Bw. Kabando wa Kabando wants me to donate to him the balance of my time."
