Maendeleo Chap Chap party leader Alfred Mutua has called on President Uhuru Kenyatta to constitute a team that will secure global markets for Miraa produce. The Machakos Governor said he is ready to lead a delegation and even act as a special envoy to go out and lobby foreign markets for the crop. In Kenya we have the Kenya Tea Board, the Coffee Board of Kenya, even a Pyrethrum Board. "I don't understand why the government has not established a board for Miraa that will be responsible for issues affecting Miraa farmers?" He urged President Uhuru to set up a Miraa development board or authority to mainstream the Miraa economy in Kenya.
