    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, noting that we are against a pharmaceutical industrial complex that especially targets developing countries, there is collusion between agrochemical countries, some in the developed world, and regulators in the developing countries. We know for a fact that our PCPB has colluded over the years with the agrochemical companies to ensure that they continue to bring in this poison into our food through the pesticide business. It is noteworthy to say that in 1970s, Kenya was producing 90 per cent of the pyrethrum in the world; not in Africa. Today, systematically over a period of time, they have destroyed the pyrethrum business in Kenya so that they can have a loophole to bring in the dangerous chemicals. Kenya is capable of producing pyrethrum and, therefore, be able to manufacture pesticides that are pyrethrum-based, and are safer for our food."
