"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the answers were supposed to be given last week. This was postponed to today. The Senate Majority Leader said that the issue of miraa is very complicated and has international and local dimensions. He also went on to say that there is inconclusive research going on as far as miraa is concerned. However, we have read a lot. Let him not confuse issues. The research on miraa has been extensive and has been concluded. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has already said that miraa is not a drug. The British Home Office has a big report that says that miraa is not a drug. Our own law, passed by Parliament by 1984 also says that miraa is not a drug. So, that avenue should not be used to delay us in receiving these answers. Could the hon. Senate Majority Leader state categorically that come rain come sunshine, we will have that statement on Thursday, next week and that will be the last indulgence we will give him? We also want statements regarding the two other requests. They were supposed to be given today. The Speakers are exposing themselves out there without any security. The road we are talking about also passes through his county. The construction has stalled. Could the Senate Majority Leader pull up his socks and move with speed?"
