    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will allow, but not now; it can wait. Secondly, the purported ban of miraa by the British Government is contrary to the law and to medical and scientific evidence as stated in the report that I have just tabled. Indeed, the Minister herself said that her own Advisory Council of Drugs, had not advised on the ban on miraa. Since that ban is illegal and miraa producers are organizing themselves to file a case in London to challenge the Minister’s illegal ban, could the Senate Leader of Majority inform this House whether the Government will support miraa farmers to file the case in the UK just as it did in supporting the Mau Mau file their case in the UK? Finally, since it is the fundamental root of every Government to protect the fundamental interests of its citizens, what is the Government doing to protect miraa farmers in Meru whose economy is on the verge of collapse? We are going to be driven into poverty as the taskforce goes to work. We do not know how long it will take. I would like to now be informed by the emeritus Attorney-General Amos Wako."
