    "content": "However, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for those of us who leave this Senate at 6.30 p.m. and by the time we get home, it is 9.00 p.m. We have little children with whom we would want to spend a little time with before they go to sleep. However, at 9.00 p.m., the televisions are flooded with advertisements of alcohol and one betting company after the other. We need to have a conversation, as a country, and decide what it is that we want to project to our people. In the past, it was insurance companies, banks, telecommunication and manufacturing companies that used to advertise. These included Unilever Kenya Limited, who used to advertise Blue Band, Omo, Roiko et cetera. However, nowadays, when we switch on our televisions, it is advertisements for one betting company after the other, followed by an alcohol producing company. We need to have that conversation although I know it is beyond the purview of this Bill. However, even when it comes to approval of outdoor advertising, we must give the CEC certain powers and allow them to work with certain bodies that will regulate the content and the context of the outdoor advertisements."
