    "content": " The measures we are requesting for are: 1. Proposing an amendment to the Pest Control Product Act (Cap. 346 of the Laws of Kenya) or enactment of a totally new law on pesticides to include environmental and human health or biodiversity as possible concerns during legislation. 2. Sanctioning KEPHIS and appropriate action taken towards the board and management, including removal from office, for contravention of Section 15 of the Pest Control Product Act by failing to publish the available information on the actual level of pesticides in food and samples collected and putting in a regular management process. 3. Having the Pest Products Control Board sanctioned and appropriate action taken against the board and management, including removal from office, for their failure to follow WHO and FAO guidelines and the National Code of Conduct in the management of pesticides. 4. The Pest Control Product Act be amended to include a list of pesticides highlighted and prohibited, banned and withdrawn from Europe and the United Kingdom. In conclusion, allow me to pay tribute to a very important woman who assisted me in this process. Her name is Evelyn Oguto of Heinrich Boll Foundation. She was a tireless warrior to protect our biodiversity. It is sad today to announce that she died three days ago while delivering twins at MP Shah Hospital. My deepest condolences to her children and her husband, David Okembwa. I wish she had been alive today to see me move this Motion. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
