<DIV><BR></DIV>This is the kind of message we and particularly our
politicians should be preaching day in day out until we are through
with the elections. The pain we went through in 2008 when Kenyans fell
on each other with machetes had nothing to do with the Americans yet when
we sort help we ran to them and the rest of the world. The kind of
diatribe we see in the media, even in the social media is not helpful for
peace in this country. We must not forget it is we Kenyans who can demonstrate
to the rest of the world that we can manage our own affairs. It is only
then that the international community will come calling,<SPAN></SPAN> not with
aid but investments. After all as they say charity begins at home.

<DIV>Dear Stephen,

<DIV>I have attended several presentations that have indicated that many
milk processing companies in Kenya are using formalin to preserve milk sold
to consumers.</DIV>

to preserve dead bodies. Formalin has many negative impacts on
human health. If it becomes part of food, it turns into
formic acid in human body and increases acidity level. More intake
of formalin can cause breathing problems, coma and even
death.</FONT></P>

<DIV>Stephen,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I don't have evidence but Kenya Accreditation Service
(KENAS) and KEBS should be able to provide accountability because the milk
producers are all showing the KEBS logo for quality.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I am a layman in this, just very concerned about because
presentations are coming from health and nutrition experts talking about
this.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Please try and see what you can do for the consumer.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Many thanks,</DIV>
