    "content": "lause 16 of the Bill be amended – (a) by deleting paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph- (b) in subsection (1) by deleting paragraph (c) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph – (c) that where the premises in respect of which the application is made are located at least three hundred metres from any nursery, primary, secondary or other learning institution for persons under the age of eighteen years in those premises do not- (i) interfere with learning in the institution; or (ii) encourage, expose or promote the consumption of alcohol to persons enrolled in the institution. (b) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (b)- (c) by inserting the following new subsection immediately after subsection (2) – (3) The County Committee shall not grant a licence for the sale of an alcoholic drink to be consumed on the premises unless the applicant has taken measures to sound-proof the premises. The reason is that the Committee noted that there will be practical challenges in implementing the proposal. The Committee, therefore, proposes that the clause be amended so as to give county committees discretion in deciding whether premises that sell alcohol should be established within 300 metres of the learning institutions after considering whether they could interfere with learning activities or encourage consumption of alcohol among the learners in the institution. Further, during the stakeholders’ hearing, many complaints were made about noisy pubs and discos in residential areas. To address this issue, the Committee proposes a further amendment to this clause to provide that such premises should not be licensed if the owners have not taken measures to sound-proof them. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairman."
