However, I didn\u2019t manage. There is no need of harassing our people but we need to have regulations to govern those making Busaa,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lusaka said many families have started making Busaa for the festive season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBusaa is one of the requirements in our traditional celebrations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The county chief however said if the bill is implemented, it will regulate those that make Busaa in the community and where health and sanitation is the key issue.<\/p>\n<p>Lusaka&#8217;s sentiments were echoed by Kabuchai MP Majimbo Kalasinga who asked police officers to stop harassing those preparing Busaa in the community saying that they should instead find ways of regulating it.<\/p>\n<p>Majimbo further said MPs backed the domiciling of Grade 6 learners at the primary section because they are still young and cannot proceed to junior secondary schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome learners in Grade 6 are too young, that is why legislators backed President Ruto\u2019s taskforce of ensuring that they are domiciled in primary school,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lusaka further said according to the police reports many people are committing suicides.<\/p>\n<p>He urged residents to seek guidance and counselling sessions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t take away your life, it is a gift from God. If you feel like your life is not moving on well please don\u2019t make a decision end it, instead seek guidance from your neighbour or friend,\u201d Lusaka said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
