"content": "any action. I am glad that I am a Member of this Committee. I will give my very best to ensure that we unearth and unravel the truth about miraa . We will strive to inform the country and the international community so that there are no grey areas at all. Just like hon. Shebesh has put it, miraa is a stimulant just like coffee or beer â I do not know whether beer is a stimulant. My view is that anything that is consumed excessively will have an effect on the person consuming it, and that is true for miraa, beer, mnazi and so on. The fact that there are people who are saying that it is a drug, we need to disabuse that fact. Recently, we had the international day of drug abuse and trade. I know that drugs have affected many families. We do not wholesomely condemn miraa or any other product for that matter. I congratulate hon. Florence Kajuju for bringing this Motion. This is the way to go not only for miraa, but anything that will be brought before us and is controversial or needs clarification. We have heard stories about libidos. Probably, that is one thing that we have to unravel when we are doing that exercise. We need to find out whether it helps or diminishes libido. My friend here tells me that if you want to know that miraa has adverse effects or otherwise, maybe, we need to be given some ladies from the regions that are protesting and we will be able to confirm whether that is true or not. Once we do the study and unravel the truth, we will have to come and inform the House and the nation at large, accordingly. I support this Motion."
