    "content": "mix it up with cassava in a special way, so that you enjoy eating it. That is something that we should preserve. It is so cultural and was done very well. When my daughter makes a meal in my house, I never enjoy it. I would rather my wife does it because she does it the way it is supposed to be done because she was taught by her mother. We are losing a side of this. Those of you who have eaten millet and wimbi foods find that it is very rough unless it is mixed with cassava. Ladies knew how to do that. We have to preserve that. In the Luhya community, busaa is fermented in a special way such that when you take it, it has no problem. For the last two months, we had this liquor that has been banned because it is not good. If you watch a traditional lady preparing busaa, you will notice that it is clean and real. You enjoy taking it. It was also used for various cultural activities, for example, when people gathered to discuss dowry. During circumcision, people drank it the whole night and nobody complained of stomachache because it was well done. This Bill is good. It is asking us to go back to our traditions. The county governments will do what is required. I come from Trans Nzoia County that neighbours West Pokot and Bungoma counties and I expect them to do things in the traditional way. This helps. Last but not least, we have seen an attempt by the elites and we, the leaders, to hold cultural nights like the Luhya cultural nights. If you go there you will eat the real Luhya food. We have the Kamba and Luo cultural nights where you eat what was made by the Luos those days and not now. This has to be respected. This Bill should be passed so that we can go back to our roots and do things in our cultural ways. Somebody mentioned that the current generation has no respect for the elders, which is true. They have no respect for the elderly people, but this Bill will help our youth to grow up in a disciplined way and make this country culturally rich. I do not want to go beyond that point, but my last shot is that we should support this Bill. We should fast-track it so that it can be implemented as soon as possible. I support."
