Meru’s miraa (****) ambas****r Rajesh Hirani says he has outsourced the best quality to give to US President Barack Obama d****g his visit. Mr Hirani said he has approached organisers of the 6th Global Entrepreneurship Summit seeking to present a bunch of miraa and a se***ing to Obama.

“If President Obama plants a miraa tree at the White **use, he w*** never forget his roots, and future presidents w*** never undermine this crop that supports the liveli**ods of more than a m***ion people of Meru,” he said.

The gesture would elicit admiration and respect for the culture of the Meru, he added. mr Hirani said he is **peful that he w*** be allowed to make the presentation as Obama’s **mecoming is a “clear sign that he supports every aspect of Kenya’s economy”.

The self-appointed miraa envoy said he w*** ask Obama to open up the US market and lobby against the ban of miraa exports to the UK. Hirani added that he has prepared a dossier for the summit’s international guests, to convince them to permit miraa imports.

He asked delegates from Meru to push for new markets. Mr Hirani further called upon President Uhuru Kenyatta to intervene for the legalisation of the crop in Tanzania, through East Africa Community bilateral talks.

In June, Hirani started a campaign to convince Uhuru to plant at least two miraa trees at the State **use garden. Planting miraa at State **use would be a sign that the President respects growers, he said, adding that the crop, known as green gold, s**uld be **noured.

He said he was also lobbying to have all restaurants and **tels designate sections for miraa chewers. Hirani said he was given the informal ***le of ambas****r for his p***ion and fight for a***eness on miraa as a cash crop.
