    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very genuine concern. Right now, since this law is new, we will educate the law enforcement officers in order for them to understand what the Act is all about. We will ask them also to hold barazas, so that they can educate the people at the grassroots level to know what the law prohibits and what it allows. The law is very clear on the issue of the content and packaging. If you are found flouting this particular law, the law will catch up with you. We will close down the factory, take you to court, and you will pay a fine, if you are a manufacturer, to the tune of Kshs10 million or face a jail term of 10 years, or both. I would want to urge the DCs, Chiefs and the Assistant Chiefs to educate people. Information should cascade all the way down, so that those who drink chang’aa know what it entails in terms of packaging and ingredients. Those who drink busaa, which is popular in rural areas including in Kakamega--- We will ask them to do what the law now requires them to do. We will not prohibit the sale of local brews but brewers will have to follow the law."
