    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support this Motion that we need extension of time. I want to commend my sister, hon. Kajuju because of the hard work she has put in this matter. You need to realize that even the Members who are opposing consent to the fact that this is a very important Motion. This is not how you treat important things which are supposed to be given due consideration. Hon. Anami said that this is so important that it should be dealt with now. If you look at the way miraa was banned by the UK, you will realize why we have been put in this problem. It is because there was no consultation. Even the High Commission of Kenya in London was not consulted. The reason we need extension is that the work that is involved in finding out whether miraa is a drug or not is not something that is restricted to a few meetings in Kenya. It is a fact that the most affected market is the UK. There is no way the issue can be brought to conclusion without the Committee going to London to find out why the Government of UK all of a sudden decided that miraa was a drug. I support that we give them extension of time so that this matter is dealt with thoroughly and squarely. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
