A middle aged man in Majengo slums has confessed to almost becoming impotent after consuming miraa for close to 20 years.
Faraji Mzito says he at times would lose interest in his wife in bed after coming from a miraa consumption spree with his friends.
“Miraa is not a good thing I would come home to my wife but nothing would happen,” he says.
Speaking to Ghetto Radio News Faraji says his wife threatened to leave him if he did not stop consuming miraa that had begun affecting their relationship.
Faraji says he knows of many other friends whose marriages and relationships have been broken by Miraa consumption.
“I am not the only whose marriage almost got broken because of miraa, i know of many friends whom the product hast cost them their relationship and marriages,” he added
Miraa vendors in Majengo however refute Faraji’s claims that miraa has side effects saying it is a healthy product approved by many other medical experts.
“Our parents took miraa all their lives and they gave birth to us. So all those demonising miraa are just being political,” they stated.
