    "content": "The Committee has conducted intensive research and has interviewed various stakeholders in this business of miraa. Amongst those who have been interviewed by the Committee are: The Cabinet Secretary for Health, Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Cabinet Secretary for Education, Science and Technology, and the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs. We have also interviewed various institutions including KEMRI, KEBs and various scientists, doctors, farmers, and traders who ordinarily conduct the business of miraa . However, the most disappointing thing is that of all the institutions that we have interviewed, we have not been able to get any data or statistics or reports that are conclusive enough to enable this Committee bring a Report to the House. Most of the institutions that have appeared before us, and the most important one being KEMRI and which we met today in the morning for the second time, have sought time to bring a conclusive report. Most of the institutions have indicated that miraa is what they have been terming as a neglected or orphaned crop. Therefore, no government institution has been keen to do research on miraa as a crop. In our desire to bring an open-ended report to this House and more importantly a comprehensive report, it has become important that we come before the House to seek an extension. The institutions that have appeared before us have told us that much of what they have done has been cross-sectional research and not longitudinal and qualitative data to be able to present before the Committee. 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."
