"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have an issue with the National Authority for Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA). NACADA is coming up with policies and saying that they are going to regulate the hours for chewing miraa . I would like to tell NACADA that miraa is not like beer, food or uji, whic you sit at a table and eat or drink. Miraa is chewed as you work, as you graze your cows in your shamba or when you are driving; when they talk of regulating chewing of miraa I do not understand what they are trying to say. Maybe, they can come and we teach them how and why we chew miraa, and how long it has been with us. Otherwise, they are interfering with the nerve centre of Merus, and we will not take it lying down. It is quite serious. They should also respect our culture and crop; they should know that they are talking about the livelihood of Merus."
