(Dr) James Nyikal","speaker":null,"content":" I agree with the Deputy Speaker, but that belongs to the Third Reading. I am just rising to support the amendments. In the Third Reading, I will support her further. I do support these amendments because I have proposed similar amendments before. First, the words ‘persons with’ was superfluous. It just needed to end with the words ‘management and treatment’. The words ‘persons with” was not necessary. The word ‘treatment’ should be replaced with ‘management’. This makes sense because treatment is narrow. It is just the application of medicine while management is more comprehensive indicating nutrition and psychological care. I support that. I support the third amendment on e-health. However, we have noticed something that as much as we are very keen on digitisation, some programmes are arising. Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I support the amendments."},{"id":1393315,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1393315/?format=json","text_counter":114,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"The Temporary Chairlady","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Hon.

I stand on behalf of the Departmental Committee on Health to say two things: One, I have had a long discussion with the Deputy Speaker on the issue of pesticides in this country and its regulations. It is an issue that I have severally conversed with her. It is true I sat in the Departmental Committee on Health in the last Parliament. She brought that matter to Parliament which referred it to the Committee. I want to state that the Committee did not behave irresponsibly because it forwarded the matter to the responsible organ, the Pest Control Products Board (PCPB). We had a discussion with the Deputy Speaker and noted that we have a problem at the Pest Control Products Board. As she has put it, they are in bed with these companies. In this country, you will go to a company that is planting vegetables like onions and you find that there are two categories of vegetables; first that is meant for Kenyans and the second one meant for export. There are chemicals that they cannot use for vegetables meant for export. They use good chemicals on the vegetables meant for export, but for those consumed locally, they use pesticides that have been banned abroad.

David Gikaria","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I want to support the Deputy Speaker. I also want to reiterate the fact that the Committee on Implementation should quickly act on this. Once Parliament has spoken and stated the required time to be taken, the Committee should take up the matter and make a follow-up. If a decision has already been made, but the Ministry is lagging, the Committee on Implementation should act. As the Deputy Speaker said, we must stop this madness where people manufacture products that cause cancer and send them to us. They do not use these products in their country, but they bring them here. We are at the same time forced to buy medicine from them. As much as we support this Amendment Bill, we should consider what the Deputy Speaker has said with a lot of seriousness."}]}
