    "content": "I also want to turn on to the question of law, as you guided earlier on. If you look at the law, you will find that sometimes societies get ahead of the law; I think that is what is happening in this particular case. A society has been consuming miraa for many years and the law has to look at that matter now, and see whether it is possible to have both legislation and policy on the matter. In any society, at no point in time has the law ever been fast enough for the society. I urge that our laws should also protect this product if it is, indeed, found by the proposed committee to be useful. I think the economic benefits have been explained by the earlier speakers. I am also in support of the formation of the proposed committee to look at social issues."
