Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are specific locations in Mombasa where groups of addicts gather daily to consume drugs. Areas such as Magodoroni and Shimanzi within Mvita Constituency and Magodoroni in Kisauni Constituency are well known to the authorities for drug menace. The drug problem in the coastal region has caused a surge in crime. Last year, we witnessed two cases where a son murdered his own father, and a grandson killed the grandmother who had raised him, all attributed to drugs.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the law enforcement agency must fulfil their duty to prevent the inflow of drugs into the coastal region, particularly Mombasa. They should crack down heavily on the sale and trafficking of drugs, eliminating the menace, once and for all, for the sake of our youth and future generations.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have listened to my good friend, the Senate Majority Leader. He says that we have been absent from the Wednesday, morning Sittings when Cabinet Secretaries appear before this House. The record will show that most Members do attend those sittings but because the issues being addressed are not of our concern, we normally do not sit in the Chamber and that applies to the Senate Majority Leader too. He may sit here, go back to his office, do something and then come back. That does not mean we do not sit in this Chamber.

I just want to remind him that we normally appear whenever there is business that concerns our side of the House. What we are saying is that we will be here whenever we are required to be here. However, we shall not sit here when we do not want to. Thank you.

Bw. Spika, nimeshangaa kwamba Seneta wa Nyeri ameweza kutumia lugha ambayo haistahili kutumika katika Bunge. Hata kama Waziri Moses Kuria ni Waziri wake, lugha aliotumia Sen. Wamatinga ni lugha ambayo haistahili kutumika katika Bunge.
