Speaker, I would like to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Irrigation the following Question: Considering that in 2015 the World Health Organisation provided evidence of link between glyphosate exposure and non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, and that several countries have since banned or restricted use of glyphosate-based herbicides including Round-Up due to health concerns- (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide the guidelines, if any, issued by the Pest Control Products Board on the usage of glyphosate-based herbicides, including the measures being pursued to control the use of such herbicides? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary indicate the quantities and brand names by which glyphosate-based herbicides have been imported into the country from 2017 to 2019, and confirm whether there exist any foreign markets that have cautioned Kenya against the use of glyphosate-based herbicides?"}
