Katoo and I would like to say that the Committee should amend this Report by inserting “accept” and deleting the word “reject”. I would like to correct some hon. Members who have commented that miraa is a drug. Miraa is not a drug and that should be stated categorically until it is proved otherwise, because there is no scientific research that says miraa is a drug. I think people who purport to say that miraa is a drug are wrong. We are even contemplating making miraa cigarettes in future and miraa gums as well."}
