"content": "is a crop just like any other; coffee, tea or mnazi. It should be accorded the very respect that we accord other crops. We have thousands of people in Tharaka Nithi, Embu and Meru Counties whose livelihood depend on Muguka and Miraa. I dispute the allegations by Mombasa County Senator that Muguka is a drug. I would advise Sen. Faki to bring a legislation to outlaw Muguka through my Committee, because I am the Chair of the Committee on Delegated Legislation. I am sure it is not going to see the light of the day. So, I believe Muguka and Miraa should be accorded the right attention. Those in Mombasa County or any other part of this country that are chewing Miraa should be given freedom to do so without any intimidation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in a rejoinder, there was a Statement that was raised by my senior the Senator of Meru County, Sen. Kathuri about Nithi Bridge. I confirm that Nithi Bridge is in my County. It is a national disaster and a monster that has claimed very many lives. It is high time the Government acts upon this bridge to save lives."
