I thank the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock for its consideration of the Senate Amendments to the Food and Feed Safety Control Coordination Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.21 of 2023), which was passed by the National Assembly on 23rd August 2023 and submitted to the Senate, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.142. As Members may be aware, the principal object of this Bill is to provide for the coordination of public institutions in the control of food and feed safety, establish the office of the Food Safety Controller and provide for the role of county governments in food and feed safety. It also seeks to ensure that there is supply of safe food and feed to consumers. This being a critical function of both the national Government and county governments, it will ensure fulfilment of consumer protection. Hon. Temporary Speaker, Clause 3 of the Bill outlines the Bill’s objectives as follows: (a) To effectively coordinate the performance of the functions of the competent authorities. (b) To enhance accountability in the implementation of official control. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
