[wanabidii] Re: [TPN] Examples of dysfuctional regulations

Dr. Ulomi,

I have a problem with pesticides regulation in this country under the Plant Protection Act, 1997 and it regulation plus the Tropical Pesticides Research Institute Act, 1979. The government is spending a lot of money to sustain the regulatory functions for these laws but we are told that 40% of the pesticides on the market are fake. Once you have fake pesticides, farmers spend a lot of money TRYING to control pests and in the end they lose to pests and operational costs. When we measure the costs of pesticides generally and include the externalities ( costs not normally counted) eg. loss of biodiversity, effect non-target organisms such as pollinators ( bees, etc) the costs are very high.

It will be nice to have an audit on these laws and advice the government accordingly.

NB: DON'T BE FOOLED INTO HAVING A PESTICIDES ACT IN THE PIPELINE, IT HAS BEEN IN THE PIPELINE SINCE 2001.

Dear all

We are looking for laws, regulations, levies and fees that are either
impractical to implement or whose benefits are clearly less than the
resulting costs to regulators, businesses and others stakeholders.

For exmple:

We want to use them in building a case for some form of regulatory audit.


Kindly share, if you know any.
