Résumé

This Act introduces various measures that shall be taken by the Government and individuals for the suppression of a weed that is declared to be a noxious weed by the Minister under this Act. A declaration of noxious weed may apply to a specific area of Kenya. Any person having land in an area for which a noxious weed is declared shall report the existence of such weed and immediately destroy such weed. Inspectors appointed by the Director of Agriculture shall have the power to control land on the existence of noxious weed and order the eradication such weed. If a person fails to observe an order of an inspector, the inspector may proceed to eradicate the weed. A local authority may, with the consent of the Director of Agriculture, make by-laws for securing the eradication of any noxious weed from land within its area and may provide for the appointment of inspectors.
