The government suffered a temporary blow in its bid to revive miraa farming after the High Court in Meru on Thursday issued interim orders barring the release of Sh1.2 billion for the purpose.

Justice Alfred Mabeya also barred the Miraa Task Force committee chaired by Geoffrey Nchooro M’Mwenda from performing its duties until the matter is determined on September 28.
