    "content": "(1) Report on the extent of use of pesticides and herbicides manufactured by Syngenta, Bayer Ag and Monsanto, which have been banned in other jurisdictions, including the United States of America (USA) and Europe, for causing a widespread aggressive form of cancer. (2) Confirm whether the firms have been selling 85 per cent of pesticides and herbicides, classified as highly hazardous by the Pesticides Action Network (PAN) to farmers in Kenya and establish whether the pesticides and herbicides sold by the firm are banned by the European Union and state the reasons for the ban. (3) Investigate and clarify whether the three firms willingly and knowingly presented pesticides and herbicides with high levels of acute or chronic hazards to human health and the environment and whether the pesticides used in locust control were approved by PAN. (4) Obtain data on the number of people reported to have suffered adverse effects from the harmful pesticides and herbicides, clarifying whether the three firms have compensated people for the loss of lives, livestock and environmental degradation from their harmful pesticides and herbicides. (5) Finally, state any measures the Ministry has put in place to protect farmers from such unscrupulous manufacturers and traders."
