"content": "I am fully aware that some of the deaths that are registered in this country are as a result of food that is not fit for human consumption. Like my friend has mentioned, it is a fact that every year we lose students for eating contaminated food. Every year the Government spends colossal sums of money carrying out investigations and tests on the cause of death of students. It has to do with the way food is stored. I will also be proposing further amendments to ensure that the mandate of this authority goes beyond testing food. It has to also ensure that food is stored in a proper manner. If you test food today and give a report that it is good for human consumption, you are given a certificate. When you do not store this food in a proper manner, chances are that the same food will deteriorate and change its status because it has not been properly stored. The same food that has a certificate of being good for human consumption, if tested again in two or three weeks, it might turn out not fit for human consumption. These are the very many things we are going to improve. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party for bringing this very good idea to the House. We will assist him by improving the idea into a better one that will assist millions of Kenyans."
