    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon Temporary Deputy Speaker. When dealing with beasts you have to become a beast. The menace that we are dealing with is not anything less than a beast and when we were confronting it, we had to put on the gear that you saw us putting on. That was the only language those people could understand. Not anything less. Just two weeks ago, ten people died in Kiandutu Slums as a result of consuming the same liquor. These industries are in Thika and that is why when I went there I had to put on the full gear to make sure that none of that illicit brew was going to be left in those bars. We are losing a generation. If we do not speak now, when will we ever speak? That is why we have come out very strongly to say enough is enough in central Kenya. Just two years ago before the county government took over. Thika Town Constituency had only 200 shops for wines and spirits but right now as we speak we have 567. There were also only two industries but right now as we speak they are 22. If we leave this issue to the county Commissioners and the likes, there is nothing that they are going to do. So, when you see us coming out strongly to your industry and we count one up to three if you do not open, we use the best means that we know. That is exactly what we did with no apologies at all. Thank you very much."
