[KENYA] Prime Minister Odinga pledges to find more miraa (khat) markets

Raila pledges to find more miraa markets
June 12, 2011 - nation.co.ke

Prime Minister Raila Odinga has promised to explore more markets for miraa (khat) to boost the income of farmers in Meru North region.

Speaking when he toured the region on Saturday, Mr Odinga said the stimulant was not a drug and the government ought to look for more markets, especially in East Africa and Europe.

“I will talk to my friend Mr Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania to seek more markets there. Miraa should be sold in many more markets.

“The twigs should not be classified as a drug. If it was a drug, our doctors would have said so,” he told residents who thronged the Maua Municipal Stadium.

The PM also promised to link the Mwingi-Isiolo-Moyale road with Maua to help residents transport the crop faster.

Mr Odinga was responding to appeals by area leaders who included Higher education assistant minister Kilemi Mwiria, Igembe South MP Mithika Linturi, Nyambene county council chairman Henry Mworia and former Igembe North MP Maoka Maore.

The PM also pledged Sh700 million for the construction of a drainage system.

Sure, why not? Tax and regulate it. People have been taking Khat for millenia, so I doubt prohibition is going to make them stop today.

I'm all for this guy trying to peddle peddle his little wares in some new markets, but him claiming that it isn't a drug is rediculous. I'm hoping that maybe there was a translational error or something, because knowing the prime minister of a country is that ignorant makes my heart sad.

Well much like many in western societies don't consider alcohol is actually a "drug" (although it most certainly is), I'm sure Kenyan society feels the same about Khat there.
