    "content": "happened in a way. There was the banning of miraa in the Netherlands. Soon, the commodity will be banned in the United Kingdom. For me, that is where I stand with the people of Meru, especially the growers. I will not speak about the consumers because, for me, that is a choice. I keep saying that I was brought up on coffee money. My father used to grow coffee. At some point, coffee went downhill, and we could not depend on the crop anymore. That is what I see as a risk for the people of Meru, if miraa loses its market. Therefore, I would be happier to see more engagements by the Government. I know that we are Government but we, sometimes, have to tell the Government even when we are in it; that there is gap. This Report clearly tells the Government that there is a gap. There may be a crisis coming. If miraa is banned in the countries that we have spoken about, what does the Government have in store for the people of Meru? I hope that it will not be a matter of crisis management response but rather a response that will have been well thought out. I hope that the Government will, very soon, through hon. Kajuju, engage the Select Committee robustly. With those remarks, I beg to support."
