    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I wanted to correct hon. Shidiye that this House formed an ad hoc committee to look deeply into the issue of miraa. This committee started its sittings today and I am a Member of the committee. So, it is not good for the Member to make insinuations about miraa while we have a committee, which was approved by the House, to look into that issue. We should wait for the committee to complete its work and bring a report to this House. Then we can all debate the report. Today, the same Member, in the Daily Nation newspaper has agitated for the ban of miraa even in this country, leave alone in other countries. Hon. Shidiye has said that miraa should be banned in Kenya. Hon. Speaker, Sir, please, give a ruling that the committee be given some time to complete its work, and then we can know the effects of miraa instead of prejudicing what the committee is doing in a big way."
