"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to support this Motion for Adjournment by the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Gladys Boss. First, I congratulate her for the passion with which she has followed up on this matter, despite that she has not made much progress on it. However, highlighting it is one way of making people and institutions concerned aware. Hon. Temporary Speaker, why have we not made any progress on this? If you look at the impact of pesticides and herbicides like paraquat and those that are glyphosate-based, they are completely harmful. A sip of paraquat would kill a human being, yet factories continue manufacturing it and we continue using it in our systems. One of our biggest problems that we must accept as a country is that we are weak on legislation. There is no food safety law in this country. I think the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock was looking at a food safety law, which they have not brought to the Floor nor have they done pre-publication."
