    "content": "care of their conjugal rights. So, it is a very serious issue that must be addressed. We have heard it from some of my colleagues who have contributed. They have said that it is something that is being emulated. Consumption of alcohol or any other habit can be learned. You know habits are learnt and so our children are learning from the many of us who consume those alcoholic things even in cars and throw away those containers. You remember hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that there was a year when we had a problem at Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) when students came for those music concerts. It was very interesting when it was discovered that there are some drinks which are brought to this country and their bottles looked like soda bottles. But they were alcoholic drinks. It was discovered here at KICC that there were students who were consuming those alcoholic drinks, but you would think that they were taking soda. There is a time when someone told me that even in schools now there are students who sit in class and you cannot know that they are having some drugs. Some of them take something and hide it in their mouths as the teachers continue teaching. I think those are some of the habits that our children have learnt and which we are giving to our children. With a population of over 40 million, I think the figure of those who are affected and addicted to alcohol is more than 2.2 million. The way I see Kenya - and because those Members of Parliament come from places where we have schools, market places and so on - my brother from Malindi will agree with me that this figure is much higher. This is a conservative figure of somebody who has done some kind of study. But if you go to every market place where majority of our youth who are not employed are, what you see practically is far much higher."
