    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance. I support this Bill. The issue of cancer in this country is really worrying. It is not just the elderly who are contracting cancer; even children are getting the disease. It is really worrying. This Bill has come at the right time. The establishment of the Office of Food and Feed Safety Controller will enable the Government to better track cases of unverified foods and feeds. Lately, there has been evidence that people sleep on their jobs. Once this office is set up, everyone will be alert. We should carry out research on the fertilisers we use to grow our crops. There is an issue with fertilisers. What are we giving Kenyans? We need to know the kind of materials used in the manufacture of these fertilisers. We have had a rise in cancer cases and stomach problems in this country. It is like everyone in Kenya has stomach issues. I support this Bill because it will give us a framework of how the Government will monitor the food that we eat. We need to know whether it is the crisps that we eat, or the coffee, or tea that we drink, or the carrots that have a problem. Everything that we consume needs to be monitored, not just yearly, but monthly or even weekly. I thank the people who came up with this Bill because it has come at the right time. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
