5.

Seizure and destruction of diseased animals, and of agricultural produce intended for export (1) Whenever an inspector has ground for believing that any animal is to be slaughtered and that the meat thereof is intended for export, he may, if such animal is found to be so infected with disease as to render the meat unfit for human consumption, cause it to be seized and slaughtered and the carcass thereof dealt with or disposed of as he may determine, but in such a manner that such carcass cannot be used either for human consumption or as food for animals: Provided that any moneys received from such disposal shall, after deduction of the expenses incidental thereto, be paid to the owner of the carcass.

(2) If any agricultural produce intended for human consumption is found at the time of inspection under this Act or of its presentation for export to be unfit for such consumption, an inspector may cause it to be seized and destroyed or otherwise dealt with or disposed of, but in such manner that such produce cannot be used for human consumption or food for animals: Provided that any moneys received from such disposal shall, after deduction of the expenses incidental thereto, be paid to the owner of the produce.

6.

Sanction and registration of abattoirs and slaughtering places, dairies, etc.

(2) No person shall export, or permit to be exported, or attempt to export, any milk products, compositions or substitutes thereof unless the dairy, factory, creamery or premises where such products, compositions or substitutes are collected, prepared or stored are premises sanctioned by the Director as fit for such purpose.

(3) There shall be allotted to all premises sanctioned under subsection (2) a registration certificate and number, and the holder of the registration certificate for these premises shall have the exclusive right to use that registration number for the purpose of designating the milk products manufactured at such premises.

Provisions as to block-stacking of produce (1) Where produce is delivered to Kenya Railways or the Kenya Ports Authority to be block-stacked it shall be lawful for them to make such charges, rules, regulations and conditions as they may deem fit for the block-stacking of produce by them.

(2) Save as provided by subsections (3), (4) and (5), when produce is block- stacked Kenya Railways or the Kenya Ports Authority shall, after reasonable notice, deliver to the person entitled thereto the same number of bags of produce of the same grade and same quality as that person or his assignor has delivered to them to be block-stacked, but it shall not be necessary for them to deliver to any person the identical produce which it received from him or from his assignor.

(3) It shall be lawful for the Ministry of Agriculture to regard produce before shipment, after it has been received in block-stack.

(4) When, on regarding, produce is found to have deteriorated, the inspector shall apportion any resultant loss among the persons who have left produce of that grade in block-stack in such proportion as he may consider to be fair and reasonable, having special regard to the period during which an owner has held produce in block-stack as shown by the books of Kenya Railways or the Kenya Ports Authority, and such loss shall be borne by the person or persons to whom it [Issue 1] 8 [Rev.

2012] CAP.

319 Agricultural Produce (Export) has been apportioned; and the produce so found to have deteriorated may be removed to the place allotted to the storage of produce of the quality to which it has deteriorated: Provided that, if the regarded produce does not fall with in any of the prescribed grades or within any of those classes of produce for which an inspection certificate may be issued, it shall be lawful for the inspector to sell, destroy or otherwise dispose of that produce and apply the net amount realized (if any), firstly, in defraying any charges which may be due to Kenya Railways or the Kenya Ports Authority for storing that produce, and secondly in crediting the balance to the person or persons entitled to credit under subsection (5).

(5) When produce has been removed from a block-stack of one grade to a block-stack of a lower grade, as provided by subsection (3), Kenya Railways or the Kenya Ports Authority shall enter in the stock-book a debit to the person or persons upon whom the loss due to deterioration has fallen of the number of bags of produce standing to his or their credit in the block-stack of the grade in which the deterioration is found to have occurred, and shall credit that person or those persons with an equivalent number of bags of produce in the block-stack to which the deteriorated produce has been removed.

(6) When the procedure prescribed by the last subsection has been compiled with, any receipt or certificate issued on the receipt of the produce for block- stacking shall be deemed to be amended accordingly.

(7) Notification as to alteration of grade (if any) on regarding carried out under subsection (3) shall be posted by the inspector to the owner or owners of the produce so regarded as soon as possible on completion of regarding.

12.

Obstruction, restriction and hindrance (1) Any person who obstructs resists or hinders an inspector in the lawful exercise of his powers or duties under this Act or any subsidiary legislation made thereunder shall be guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding one thousand shillings.

(2) Any person who fails, within the time required by an inspector, to remove any produce from any place of inspection, reception or shipment whenever such removal is so required shall be guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred shillings for every day during which the offence continues.

13.

Forging certificate or brand and false warranties (1) Any person who forges, or utters knowing it to be forged, any certificate or brand or label, or any writing or signature required by or provided in this Act, or any subsidiary legislation made thereunder, shall be guilty of an offence and liable to the penalties prescribed by law for the crime of forgery.

(2) Any person who wilfully applies to agriculture produce intended for export a certificate or invoice or label or warranty given in relation to any other agricultural produce shall be guilty of an offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding twelve months.

(3) Any person who with intent to deceive issues a written warranty or invoice, label or certificate or notification in respect of agricultural produce 9 [Issue 1] CAP.

319 [Rev.

2012] Agricultural Produce (Export) intended for export shall, if such written documents falsely describe such produce or are false in any other material particular, be guilty of an offence and liable to the penalties prescribed by law for the crime of cheating.

14.

Penalty Any person who contravenes any of the provisions of this Act or of any subsidiary legislation made thereunder, or makes default in complying with any such provision with which it is duty to comply, shall be guilty of an offence and, if no penalty is specially provided for the contravention or default, be liable, in the case of a first conviction, to a fine not exceeding two thousand shillings, and, in the case of a second or subsequent conviction, to a fine not exceeding five thousand shillings, and in default of payment in either case to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months.

15.

Board of appeal (1) If any person is aggrieved by any decision of, or action taken by, an inspector under this Act, or under any subsidiary legislation made thereunder, the inspector shall, if required by such person state in writing the reasons for his decision or action, and the matter shall there upon be referred to a board, which shall be appointed by the Director or, at his request, by a Provisional Commissioner, Resident Magistrate, or District Commissioner.

(2) The decision of the board in the matter shall be reduced to writing, and shall be final.

(3) Before the matter is referred to the board, the person aggrieved shall deposit with the inspector such a reasonable amount as, in the Directors opinion, will be sufficient to defray the expenses which will necessarily be incurred by the board, but the amount so deposited shall be refunded to such person if his contention is upheld by the board.
