    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank the Member of Parliament (MP) for Igembe South for coming up with this Petition, which is triggering a lot of debate whether it is a drug or not. We all know miraa within the region is classified as a crop. I remember Hon. Speaker during my training, one of my classmate did a field attachment in the miraa-growing region of Meru as a crop. In fact, it is a crop classified as a stimulant just like tea and coffee, which have caffeine. This is a reality and from our economic data, when you check with the National Bureau of Statistics, even tobacco has its own contents. All those are stimulants. The question is: Is miraa a legitimate crop in this country? Yes, it is and so, we do not need to debate about it. How it is abused by the consumers is none of our business. That invites other forms of regulations. If somebody over-smokes for example, that is a different problem because that product is legitimate. The level of consumption is a different story and we do not need to argue over it. I The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
