Existing laws on food safety are fragmented and appear in different institutions notably the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS), Kenya Bureau of Standards (KBS), Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) and Ministry of Health. KEPHIS is a regulatory agency for quality control of agricultural input and produce. DVS has the mandate of national livestock health and control of importation of livestock and livestock products. KBS prepares standards relating to products, certification of industrial products and quality inspection at ports of entry among others. Major food laws 1. Public Health Act Cap.242 Laws of Kenya. 2.

5 PROVISIONS IN THE KENYAN LAWS THAT PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT The policy on environment and development highlights activities in all areas of national life relevant to the environment and stresses the need for the government to set up standards for the sustainable use of natural resources; appropriate disposal of wastes; conservation of natural ecosystems (forests, marine, lakes, rivers and wetlands), biodiversity, product standards and environmental quality. The policy paper on environment (1992) provided the basis for integration of environmental concerns into national development planning and management processes. It provides guidelines for environmentally sustainable development with the following specific goals and objectives: 1. To conserve and manage natural resources of Kenya including air, water, land, flora and fauna; 2. To enhance broad public education and awareness including appreciation of essential linkages between development and environment; 3. To ensure all development policies, programs and projects take environmental consideration into account; 4. To review and harmonize legal and institutional framework for environmental management; 5. To encourage the use of environmental tools such as economic instruments, EIA and standards. The policy document broadly covers all sectors including institutional linkages, legal arrangements and environmental challenges. The National Environmental Action Plan (NEAP) The national environmental action plan was developed as a strategy for achieving sustainable development. The NEAP has the following objectives: 1. Facilitating optimal use of national land and water based resources to improve the quality of the human environment; 2. Promoting sustainable use of natural resources; 3. Treating environmental conservation and economic development as integral aspects of the same process of sustainable development; 5
6 4. Generating income and meeting national goals and international obligations by conserving biodiversity, reversing desertification, mitigating effects of disasters and maintaining the ecological balance of the earth. (Read about the Environmental management coordination Act and identify the provisions that protect the environment). Government bodies and agencies implementing the various food laws a) The Public Health Act Cap 242, Food, Drug and Chemical Substances Act Cap 254 and Radiation Protection Act Cap 243 are implemented by the Ministry of Health officials at the ports of entry. b) Agriculture Act Cap 318, Plant Protection Act Cap.324 (in case of fruits & vegetables) and Seeds & Plant Varieties Act Cap 326 are implemented by KEPHIS at the ports of entry. c) The Dairy Act Cap 336 is implemented by Kenya Dairy Board in liaison with KEBS at the port of entry. d) The Meat Control Act Cap 356, Fisheries Act Cap. 378 and Animal diseases Act Cap 364, the Pig Industry Act Cap 361 are implemented by DVS in liaison with KEBS at the port of entry e) Animal diseases Act Cap 364 is implemented by Department of Veterinary Services in liaison with port Health officials at the port of entry. f) The Customs & excise Act Cap. 496 is implemented by the Ministry of Finance g) The Standards Act Cap 496 is implemented by the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KBS) Study Questions 1.
