Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is very clear in this Bill that the Minister shall take action upon the advice of the Commission. Therefore, any regulatory measure being taken shall be as a result of the advice coming from the Commission. Secondly, it is also important that the Minister's decision is vetted. In any case, if the Commission delays in taking action, the Minister can be asked by hon. Members to give reasons for the delay. In other words, Parliament will be able to vet the Ministry.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the hon. Member is telling us not to re-examine products. In practice, we have cross-examination and re-examination. What the KEBS is mandated to do is cross-examination of products. As a Ministry, we are asking that we be given powers to re-examine. If we do not do that, we might not be able to verify clearly that the quality of products we are giving Kenyans is of acceptable standards.
