    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he is a presidential candidate. So, he should relax. I join my colleagues in recognizing that, although we have freedom of brining petitions to be handled in the Senate, the National Assembly or any county assembly, there are some petitions which we should not even encourage. How can a Kenyan in the right state of mind think of encouraging this? This is in view of the damages that consumption of this has caused in Kenya. The issue of drugs has been in the limelight recently. The President and his deputy were in Mombasa trying to destroy some of the drugs that have caused havoc in Kenya. Although it may generate money the way the petitioner is suggesting, it leads to destruction of lives and families and causes a lot of disorder. I suggest that as the Committee handles this Petition, it should even propose more penalties for people who entertain this. They should look at the Act and enhance some of the penalties so that Kenyans would not think about this."
