    "content": "Hon. Speaker, as I was saying, lumping together of all this subsectors in the Bill is being unfair to the agricultural sector. I think we should be devolving and putting more emphasis on individual crops so that they are managed professionally and scientifically. Lumping them together means that attention to some of them will not be there and they will not be recognized. There are those that will get more attention and others will be left to die. I support that we allow this extension. This should apply to the Bills that are pertinent and are the backbone of this country. We need to provide ample time so that we research on them and get to the bottom of issues. That will enable us to come up with resolutions that are of benefit to future generations of this country. We should not rush to complete issues and in the short run we start regretting. I support this extension. We have an ad hoc Committee that was formed to look into the issues of miraa. I believe that by the time we are ready to work into this one we shall have come up with a Report and in essence include miraa as an agricultural crop. That way it will be recognized in the Act and therefore save the people of Igembe from the agony of terming miraa a drug and yet it is not. I strongly support."
