    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I appreciate this opportunity to joyride on this Question. Mine is a technical question. Before I ask it, I commend the Cabinet Secretary for a very spirited presentation today and great responses. I would like to know if the Ministry of Health is taking note of some of the endorsements that are coming up on television in adverts. We have been seeing advertisements of products that might be medical or of medical nature coming up on television. Some of them are consumer products like soap and toothpaste, which are advertised on our televisions with endorsements from organisations whose identity we do not know. There is a campaign currently running on television on a consumer product that should be used in our homes, which is endorsed by an entity called the Kenya Progressive Nurses Association (KPNA). We would like to know if there is any such association, whether it is verified by the Ministry, and whether it has been given any mandate to endorse products on television. Those endorsements are supposed to induce consumers to buy products. That brings in issues of consumer protection, standards and approvals. We would like to know if the Ministry is seized of such situations and whether they are on top of the matter."
