"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As you have said, today is a miraa day. So, I have come again with another issue about miraa . Hon. Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Industry, Trade and Co- operatives the following Question: (i) What steps is the Ministry taking to market miraa, commonly known as khat, particularly, within the country, in Somalia, in the Eastern African Region and the European Markets, considering it is the main source of livelihood for the residents of Igembe Central, Igembe North and Igembe South constituencies? (ii) What steps is the Ministry taking to ensure that the Somalia market is opened as a matter of urgency? (iii) Considering that the Crops Act, 2013, as amended in July 2014 included miraa as a cash crop and it was subsequently gazetted as a scheduled cash crop in 2016, what measures have been put in place by the Government to cushion farmers from losses suffered as a result of lack of markets?"
