"content": "The regulations that are anchored on the Pest Control Products Board (PCPB) Act No. 346 of 1982 were recently gazetted. We proceeded to prepare the regulations before the Bill comes into place. This is our response on what we have done. The other issue was access to data. The PCPB has been accessing technical information on the data package that is supporting the safety of human health and environment. That data includes chemistry, toxicology, effects on the environment and beneficial organisms, efficacy and residue studies, fate and behaviour in the environment. This has been further elaborated in the new registration and regulations that were gazetted on 6th August 2024 under the Kenya Gazette Supplement No.155 and Legal Notice No.130. The proposal for the proposed PCPB Bill provides for evaluation of pesticides for safety of human health and environmental prior to registration. Action has been taken with the regulations in place."
