The Pest Control Products Board  is responsible for overseeing all pesticide-related matters, including but not limited to the regulation of pesticide importation and exportation, manufacturing, distribution, sale, and use, as well as mitigating their harmful effects on human health, animal health, and the environment.

Through the parliamentary health committee, the board was asked to undertake an analysis and legal review of these toxic pesticides with the aim of withdrawing them of the Kenyan Market. So far, the board has reviewed  only 4 active ingredients.
