• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: We have witnessed many road accidents in this country. After investigations, it is found out that the dead driver was driving under the influence of alcohol.

Making a special reference to Central Province, where I was for five years as a Provincial Commissioner, I want to confirm, just as the Mover has said, that there were ... view

We know that the administration that is at the forefront--- The Chiefs Act was amended and today, they do not do a lot. We believe that the empowerment of the Provincial Administration and NACADA as an authority in this country can do a lot of good in making sure that we minimize the threats that are facing this country as a result of the proliferation of adulterated alcohol and third generation beverages. view
