    "content": "So, when they ban the use of miraa in their countries like the United Kingdom (UK), the United States of America (USA) and many other European countries, that will go against this particular international covenant. This is because people in my community, who are in that place--- Even when they have to engage in marriages, miraa is part of that process. Therefore, by banning the use of miraa in those countries they end up also working against our culture, economic and social rights. We have our representatives in these countries, who need to highlight the fact that by denying this--- Nobody is forced to take miraa . It is somebody’s right to do so. People have to be protected. Then we have issues like the one that has been discussed by my colleagues regarding the Rome Statute. Here, again, we congratulate the President for being able to come out of this challenge; we wish the Deputy President and our brother Sang well; they should come out of this and then Kenyans can solve their own problems. We can continue going through a healing process that we have been going through as a nation. I believe that the healing process is doing justice and even coming up with positive issues regarding Kenyans. It is only Kenyans who can heal themselves and bring peace within our country. Therefore, I believe that, as a country, we have to look at the bigger picture. As we sign the treaties, we have to look at the broader interests of the country and the people of the Republic of Kenya, so that at the end of the day whatever is done is done in the interests of Kenyans. With those few remarks, I note the speech. Thank you."
