    "content": "regulated. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in our last page of the report, you will find nine recommendations that were made by the Committee. One of the recommendations - and I need hon. Members to understand – is on the Crops Act, 2013, which should be amended to include Miraa in the list of scheduled crops. This Act has not been operationalized. It is waiting for the Cabinet Secretary to do so. Therefore, we will be seeking an amendment. The second recommendation is that, Miraa stakeholders establish concrete structures that will assist them to address their interests. The other recommendation is that the Government allocates funds to research institutions to enable them carry out extensive research on Miraa. There is no conclusive evidence to show whether Miraa is a drug or not. But so far, it is not. The fourth recommendation is that the Government should petition countries that have banned Miraa to lift the ban. There should be a Miraa stakeholder’s participation to level the balance of trade in the business. We also recommended that the Government should intervene in support of Miraa marketing and trade at both regional and international levels. We also agreed as a Committee that the Government should formulate foreign policies on Miraa trade on the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
