    "content": "said earlier, that those who chew miraa are unable to think properly. It is called clouding of the mind, but what I know is that miraa provides clarity of mind. By the end of this debate, our country must make a decision on what action it wants to take in as far as miraa is concerned. I say this because most of the politicians have used miraa as a campaign strategy. Everybody thinks that miraa is important when they come to Meru to campaign; that is when you see them with bunches or kibanda, explaining how they are going to protect miraa; no sooner are the elections over, than everybody seems to forget the pledge that they made to the people of Meru. We are saying the time is now. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the World Health Organisation (WHO) was trying to look at the issue of miraa, but they shied away from making a decision. They left that decision to be made by NACADA, but NACADA has not made a decision that is well researched and well thought out; that is why the proposed committee is going to look at that report and really get to tell us whether it was scientifically proved that miraa is a drug. Earlier reports portrayed miraa chewers as being aggressive and antagonistic. It was also implicated in failure to perform, among other things. It is said that miraa causes a condition called spermaria. Spermaria is a discharge that comes after urination, but I have lived with Meru men. Meru County has a population of 1.4 million and I believe half of them are men but I have never, in my so many years of life--- I was in class with you. You know my years. I do not have to say them in the House."
