    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I want to conclude by saying that it is sad that we have pesticides and herbicides in this country that are carcinogenic. This Report says that glyphosates are not carcinogenic. I am happy to hear that my colleague, Hon. Ruku, has evidence. I am also very happy because there are peer review journals which have cited the dangers in some of the glyphosates. I will be very happy if you can form a joint committee which should have the Departmental Committee on Health, Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock and the Public Petitions Committee, so that we can ask straight questions on what kind of evidence they have, and then present the evidence that we, as Members of Parliament, have, in order to protect Kenyans. We should not take the fact that people did not protect themselves as an answer. What we should take is whether there is any evidence that it is causing cancer in our amidst and it is actually banned in those other countries. If it is, we should propose promptly that it should be banned in this country. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
