    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the Cabinet Secretary spoke about carrying out some research somewhere in Nyahururu. But in areas where cancer is more prevalent, he has not said a word and, hence, a deficiency in his answers. That is because they are carrying out research in areas where there are no cases of harmful effect on humans and animals. My request, therefore, is that they can carry out more research in the deepest agricultural zones. That should be specifically in Buuri Constituency where there is a high level of miscarriages among women farm workers. We grow potatoes and cabbages, and almost all other export products. Some of those products are being returned. That is not an issue that should be ignored because laymen like us understand the problem, but the people who are supposed to be coming up with solutions are not coming up with them. The problem is with the Pest Control Products Board (PCPB). Something needs to be done. There is a human resource deficiency in that institution. They are not telling Kenyans the truth. If a lawyer can disseminate information from her own research, and a scientist at the PCPB cannot explain the same, then this country is in danger. We are in danger! My constituency has been chosen as a centre of focus by the National Aids Control Council (NACC) and the Ministry of Health. However, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development is silent and yet, they have information on where to focus on to get the answers to our problems. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
