Plant Protection Act (Cap. 324).

This Act concerns the protection of the health of plants in Kenya. Section 3 specifies regulation making powers of the Minister. Every occupier or, in the absence of the occupier, every owner of land shall take all such measures as he may be required to take by virtue of any rules made under section 3, and in addition such other measures as are reasonably necessary for the eradication, reduction or prevention of the spread of any pest or disease which an inspector may by notice in writing order him to take, including the destruction of plants, whether the same are infected with disease or not (sect. 4). Any person who knowingly introduces any pest or disease into any cultivated land shall be guilty of an offence (sect. 7). The Minister may, by order, prohibit, restrict or regulate the importation and exportation of any plants and the soil, packages, coverings or wrappings thereof and of any article or class of articles, whether of a nature similar to plants or not, and to any animals or insects likely to infect any plant with any pest or disease (sect. 8).
