Deputy Speaker, I come from Igembe Central, a region known for producing what we internationally refer to as ‘green gold’. Locally, we call it mairungi, miraa and khat . As we talk, that industry has been employing more than 500,000 people. Today, as we deliberate on the team that will be handling our cases at EALA, we should have a team that will represent Kenya and represent Kenya’s interests politically, socially, and even economically."}
