    "content": "and convicted. There is an impression that has been created in this country, and that has been confirmed by our systems and out of the inability by DPP to appreciate issues that touch on the nerve of the people of Meru. It is worrying. There is continued vilification and publicity about Miraa being a drug. This is putting us in an awkward position. There has never been medical evidence to show that Miraa is a drug. The Kenyan law does not state that Miraa is a drug. The continuation of that offence is affecting us. In view of this, I am asking for your guidance on how we should continue relating as we await that Report and know what will come out of it. Our people are crying and asking this Assembly, which deliberates on issues that concern our people, to understand our feelings. Under Article 95 of the Constitution, I am pleading with all humility, and ask Members of this House to feel what we are going through, share the frustrations and help us in getting a lasting solution to that problem."
