Miraa traders have taken to court 10 county governments that seized or blocked consignments headed to their areas at the start of the dusk-to-dawn curfew.
Suing through the Nyambene Miraa Trade Association (Nyamita), the traders are seeking High Court orders against Mandera, Kilifi, Isiolo, Lamu, Makueni, Wajir, Kitui, Tharaka-Nithi, Samburu and Tana River county governments, which they accuse of interfering in their business. They say miraa is recognised by the State as a cash crop, so its trade is legitimate.
