Could all people who take khat get impotent?

No: That's an exaggeration, though it's said it slows libido in some guys. I'm sorry somebody frightened you. The stuff is a moderately powerful stimulant, like strong coffee. I thought the decision to ban it was "politics as usual", but you'll need to decide that for yourself.
