"content": "Law, like anything else, needs to be updated, researched and improved. It is just like when science advances. The Nuclear Regulatory Bill provides for upgrading of the Radiation Regulation Board into a modern regulatory Commission that can regulate the use of nuclear energy, nuclear items and nuclear activities in a manner that responds to the contemporary ways of using nuclear power. Nuclear energy has been used positively in medicine, industry, agriculture and in the improvement and elongating lifespans. So, the importance of nuclear energy cannot be gainsaid. It is very important. Whether we produce nuclear energy or not we know that on a daily basis Kenya uses many equipment and new products with nuclear. That is why regulation in this regard does not only respond to what we produce, but also responds to what comes to the country through imports and through medical equipment. On a daily, weekly or monthly basis, much is brought to the country that is nuclear-related, but it is 36 years since we last made a law on radiation protection."
