    "content": "is grown, particularly in the Rift Valley and Western regions but also in areas like Limuru, where vegetables are grown. From my experience, we need to look afresh at the mandate of the NCPB. Ordinarily, I would not support the idea of creating such a board for the single reason that the existing State corporation that is supposed to perform the particular functions is inefficient but today I stand here to support this Motion for creation of a fertilizer board to ensure that farmers access fertilizers. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we also need to ensure that the fertilizers coming into this country are of good quality, and that they do not bring any other health problems to our people. This country is faced with an increase of cancer cases all over but nobody seems to even give us an idea as to what is happening. In every corner of this country, we are seeing cancer cases which were not with us before. It is important to ensure that even when we are calling for fertilizer, we make sure that the fertilizer coming into this country is one that is of the international standards used by other countries. We know that there are schemes to ensure that this happens but we need to enforce those quality measures to ensure that no toxic fertilizer comes into this country."
