    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank all those who contributed to this Motion. We are telling Kenyans that if there is no committee of this nature to make a decision on miraa the Meru people will be more sinned than seen as William Shakespeare said, “Every person must have an opportunity to be heard.” Natural justice demands that people must be given an opportunity to be heard. Let the people who consume miraa speak to the issue so that we come up with a proper decision. The decision this committee makes will determine whether miraa is a blessing or a curse to the people of Kenya. If you look at the economic aspects, people have been exporting over 60 tonnes of miraa to the United Kingdom. They have been making over Kshs41 billion per week. This is the right time for us to make a decision about miraa. The Constitution promotes the culture of the people. Miraa is part of the culture of the Meru people. The committee will seek the views of the Meru people and the consumers. It will also seek views of the people who think that miraa is not consumed"
