    "content": "coordinating the implementation of food safety. There should be another institution that you see there. The Food Safety Controller cannot coordinate another body established by statute of equal rank or do it as a Cabinet Secretary. On that alone, the Bill is fundamentally flawed. I dealt with this issue extensively when I wrote the Environmental Management and Coordination Act. What I have seen here will not work. Let me go to the specifics. I propose that the government consider establishing a National Food Safety Authority. That is what we need in the Republic of Kenya instead of the office of the Food Safety Controller. There are enough precedents across the world. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the National Food Safety Authority will have the following responsibilities. Firstly, it will be the repository of all food and water standards. In other words, it will formulate and enforce all national food standards. I am glad the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party has just walked in. Secondly, that authority should be in charge of the certification and registration of all competent specialists under those competent authorities."
