    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to request for a Statement from the Government through the Senate Majority Leader on the issue of miraa. Given the fact that miraa, which is also known as khat, is a unique stimulant and a cash crop which plays a crucial role in the socio-economic development of Meru County and, two, that miraa is a major employer, which employs thousands of people as miraa farmers and also as miraa pickers, transporters, wholesalers, retailers, exporters and importers, both locally and internationally; and, three, that miraa is not a drug as it is not prohibited by the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Control Act which was passed by Parliament in 1994 and lastly, that His Excellency, President Uhuru Kenyatta and the Jubilee leadership have consistently promised to support miraa farmers and traders in the expansion of miraa industry. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to hereby request the Senate Majority Leader to bring to this House a Statement from the Government stating clearly:- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
