    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I mentioned when I was giving a statement that we are going to organise workshops for law enforcement officers so that they can know what the new law entails. This law was passed in this House. I would also request my colleagues to help us to talk to the people in the grassroots in terms of what the law entails and the consequences, should you be found with an illegal or illicit brew or drink. This does not only go to those who are brewing changaa or busaa. We are targeting those who want to kill or maim innocent Kenyans. If those who brew illicit brews - those big companies - the DCs will be at liberty to educate the chiefs and assistant chiefs. The assistant chiefs will be holding barazas on a weekly basis to educate the people on the grassroots on the need to respect the law, what they are required to do and what they should also not do. For example, if you are drunk and disorderly, there is a fine. It is the duty of the owner of a bar and the manager of that bar to make sure that nobody is drunk and disorderly within his or her premises. Equally, I also mentioned that within a radius of 300 metres around a learning institution, you are not going to be licensed. So, those people who are still operating under the old law, I want them to know that the new law empowers the Minister to revoke their licences, should they contravene the law."
