    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Hon. Member for bringing this Motion to this House. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the focus has mainly been on central Kenya but this is a national problem. Last time when we were dealing with this law in this House and we spoke to individual Members, we realized that this is a matter that affects every single household. I would like to say that the President took a very bold move, but as the Chairperson, now that the Speaker has spoken about the bodies we belong to - I am the Chairperson for Parliamentarians for Global Action, the Kenya Chapter--- I respect human rights. Some of the images that we have seen go to counter the spirit of what I believe the President intended; two wrongs do not make a right. You cannot purport to be dealing with alcohol by behaving like you are drunk yourself. I want to encourage some of the Members of Parliament that when they are undertaking these activities, they need to behave soberly and within the law. I want to say that this activity should be encouraged and extended to other parts of the country because it is not an exclusive problem to central Kenya. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
