"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I just thought I would use this opportunity to prompt the House that as we discuss amending the Cancer Prevention and Control Bill, we must remind ourselves that despite the fact that I brought a petition before this House in 2019 that could help us further prevent cancer by ensuring the removal of 262 pesticide products confirmed by world scientists and the persons who developed cancer as a result of those pesticides, they are still sold in this country. The persons in the United States of America and Europe got an order from the United States Superior Courts in California where the farmers were paid up to US$250 million for developing cancer as a result of the use of these pesticides. I want to request the Member who has brought this amendment to remember that if we are truly committed to cancer prevention, then we, first, need to stop the use of products that are known to cause cancer. This has been brought before the Pest Control Products Board The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"

"content": "severally, but they have been incorrigible and have continued to be in bed with the agro chemical companies. They recently appeared before the Departmental Committee on Health. Hon. Ntwiga, you were a Member of the Departmental Committee on Health when I appeared before it and instead of ordering those products to be removed from the Kenyan market, the Committee was irresponsible enough to leave it to the vultures, the Pest Control Products Board. Since 2019, they have only removed seven products and the rest continue to remain in the market. Roundup gave people cancer and was removed from the markets abroad, but here in Kenya, they are resold under a different name. All those products are in our market and it is known to the authorities and the Departmental Committee on Health. It is counterproductive to amend that Bill. The real amendment should be dealing with this issue of pesticides. One of the things we should be asking in the House is; why is the Departmental Committee on Health not acting? The first Departmental Committee on Health in the 12th Parliament did not act, and the current one of the 13th Parliament has also not acted. The Pest Control Products Board and the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development have not acted yet these are known facts. Those products are manufactured in Europe and America, but they are not allowed to be used. They are allowed to manufacture them for export to countries like Kenya which are foolish enough to allow the product into their country to continue killing their people. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady."
