    "content": "have the statistics on people who are affected by alcoholism. We need to have them rehabilitated and taken back to the society. If rehabilitation centres are set up at the county level, it will make a big difference. In my constituency, there are so many youths who are affected by alcoholism. I know that the same is true for many constituencies in the country. That is partly because all the land that was meant for development of recreational facilities has been grabbed. As a country, we have a duty to address this problem. Grabbed land meant for sports and recreational facilities should be reclaimed by the Government. We know a number of such cases. Lately, I have seen some disturbing adverts in the newspapers and on some billboards mounted on buildings in towns. One billboard proclaims: “Kenya is a Tusker country”. That is very misleading information. How can we allow people to refer to our country as “a Tusker country?” What message are we sending to the young people, if we can allow a beer maker to say that Kenya is a “Tusker country”? When did they pick my opinion on what I think of Kenya? How about Muslims and Christians, who are not beer takers? How do you condemn the entire country as a “Tusker country” and yet, we all know the damage that beer has caused in this country."
