    "content": "These things happen in a way that make us think that we are safe. No one is safe. Therefore, I would tell my good friend that the reports that we have are not looking good. Let NACADA come out and tell us, if there are structural weaknesses in the legal framework as it is now, and how we can help. We are here to help with policies and making laws. However, making laws alone is not enough. Even the processes and methodology are important. Is there something structurally wrong with the methodology that NACADA currently uses to fight alcohol and drug abuse? We cannot be doing this over and over again. Hon. Mututho is a very good friend of mine, but of late I have seen him looking more like those prophets who wrote the book of Lamentations in the Bible. We did not put him there to lament; we put him there to stem this social vice. Lamenting and complaining about what he can or cannot do is not enough. If he is lacking the muscle, the place to get it is here. He has been here. He is by all means a political practitioner. He knows what it takes to get the instruments that he needs to fight the vice. Let him stop lamenting. Let him lament less and come and engage us, so that we can agree."
