Court Allows Hundreds of Victims to Join Landmark Pesticide Ban Petition

Advocates Kelvin Kubai and Gilbert Njoroge, supported by the African Centre for Corrective and Preventive Action (ACCPA), deliver a press statement on the landmark petition against the continued use of hazardous pesticides in Kenya. The chemicals, banned in their countries of origin (EU/US) due to severe health risks, have been found contaminating Kenyan soils (Paraquat) and water (Glyphosate), linked to rising rates of cancer and chronic diseases. The Environment Court has granted a significant victory by allowing hundreds of new affected Kenyans to join the petition against manufacturers like Bayer and Syngenta. Experts describe the situation as a "national public health emergency." The advocates demand an immediate end to the importation of these toxic substances to uphold every Kenyan's Constitutional right to a clean environment and safe food.
