Deputy Speaker of the Kenya National Assembly, Gladys Boss Shollei, has criticised the Pests Control Products Board (PCPB) of Kenya for failing to remove harmful pesticides from the market.

Since 2019, Gladys, who is also the Woman Representative for Uasin Gishu, has been pushing for the withdrawal of Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) from the Kenyan market.
