[David Gichuru,standard]It is hard to remember any decision that posed harm to Kenya as much as the recommendation before Parliament that it adopts the European Union’s (EU) policies on agricultural inputs and phases them out. Then, Europe has also abandoned the risk assessment methods developed by the world’s food safety regulators and moved to something called hazard assessment. Risk assessment measures any risk from a product and looks at exposure. But hazard assessment only looks at anything that can be dangerous in a product. So, water would fail a hazard assessment: It can scald and cause death by drowning.
