"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, from this report, the professor continued and said that when you look at the effects of miraa and the effects of tobacco and beer, they are incomparable. He who pays the piper calls the tune. Why is miraa being demonised? It is because it is grown by very poor farmers. There is no multi-national company that has found any potential in terms of economy in miraa to come and invest in it. But you find tobacco that kills thousands and that is directly associated with lung cancer, is one of the highest earners of revenue to the Government. That is why they cannot touch tobacco and beer. Beer directly causes liver cirrhosis."
