    "content": "I want to encourage my good friend, brother and colleague to go a step further. The idea of this Motion is to try to control the menace of alcohol and drug abuse in our country. I would want him to go a step further, so that from this Motion, we either pass an Act of Parliament or amendments to existing Acts of Parliament, particularly the NACADA Act, so that these good points that we are discussing can be taken care of and be converted into statutes that can be implemented. In this Parliament, I have been reluctant to bring Motions which “urge”. When you urge, you give an option. It is a difficulty that those of us who were privileged to be in the last Parliament find. In the Tenth Parliament, we had the Executive sitting with us and we would, through a Motion, direct them. However, since they do not sit here, that is the difficulty which we find ourselves in."
