    "content": "I want to start by thanking the Mover for bringing a very important Motion to the House. It is very important for this country. The Motion captures two broad areas. One of them is the disposal of alcoholic waste containers and the other one is recreational facilities for our youth. As I support the Motion, my only worry is whether NACADA has the mandate or whether these two things remain under the domain of NACADA. The function of disposal of containers, in my opinion, is in the realm of the National Environment and Management Authority (NEMA). The other one, of recreation, I tend to think it is in the realm of the Department of Sports. My other worry is that Motions of money, like this one, progress into money Bills. If the Motion ends up becoming a Bill, and we are to consider the funds that we give to NACADA, NEMA and the Department of Sports, it will cover those areas. The spirit is good. That is why I support the Motion. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before I proceed to say what I want to say, we also have to consider the fact that in 2010, this House enacted the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act, 2010. Within the Act are very important provisions. It would have been better for the Mover to have looked at that Act with a view to adding the proposals of this Motion to the Act through an amendment."
