"You don’t need more research. The evidence is clear. These pesticides are banned in Europe and North America for a reason. Why are we still accepting them? "It takes five minutes to remove those pesticides from the approved list. Five minutes. So why are we still waiting? Maybe you’ve never lost a child to cancer. Maybe that’s why you remain indifferent. But real families are suffering. We must act." - Gladys Boss Shollei, the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly and Member of Parliament, Uasin Gishu County.
