Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has told the Senate there are no existing laws to regulate the use of miraa and shisha urging Parliament to enact legislation to enable the government to control their usage.

Appearing before the Senate Delegated Legislation Committee during deliberations on the Graphic Health Warnings for Tobacco Products, Legal Notice No 107 of 2025, Duale asked Senators to use the Tobacco Control Amendment Bill to introduce the necessary laws.
