(b)refuses to furnish any information, to produce any documents or to furnish any means of inspection, when required to do so under section 21, shall be guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding three thousand shillings or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or to both such fine and such imprisonment. Provided that no person shall be required under this section to answer any question tending to incriminate him.
If an Inspector applies to purchase any pesticide or any substance used in the manufacture of pesticides which is offered or exposed for sale and tenders the price for the quantity which he requires as a sample, and the person offering or exposing the pesticide or the substance for sale refuses to sell to the inspector such quantity thereof as aforesaid, or if the seller, consignor or any person having for the time being the charge of any pesticide or substance of which an inspector is empowered to take a sample refuses to allow the inspector to take the quantity which he requires as a sample, the person so refusing shall, for the purpose of subsection (1), be deemed to have wilfully obstructed the inspector:
Provided that where any pesticide or substance is exposed for sale in an unopened container duly labelled, no person shall be required to sell it except in the unopened container in which it is contained.
23.- (1) Any purchaser of any pesticide or any substance capable of being used in the manufacture or preparation or pesticides or any inspector may submit a sample of such pesticide or substance to an analyst for analysis or examination.
(2) Where a sample of any pesticide is taken with the intention of having it submitted to an analyst for analysis or examination, the person taking such sample shall, as soon as possible inform in writing the seller or the owner of the pesticide or his representative of his intention to have the sample analysed or examined by an analyst
24.- (1) An inspector or any other person who takes or purchases a sample for the purpose of analysis or examination shall divide it into three parts, each part to be marked and sealed or fastened up in such manner as its nature will permit, and unless he sooner decides not to have the sample analysed or examined, shall give one part to the person from whom it was obtained or to the owner or occupier of the premises from which it was obtained or a representative of any of them, one part to an analyst and the other part shall be retained by him.
(2)Every analyst shall, as soon as possible after receiving a sample obtained under this Act, analyse or examine the sample, as the case may be, and give to the person by whom it was originally submitted a certificate, in the prescribed form, setting out the findings of the analysis or examination and such observation as he may consider necessary or desirable and shall forward a copy of such certificate to the person who received art of the sample in accordance with subsection (1).
(3)Where any person procures a sample under section 23 (1) and the division into parts of such sample-
(a)is not reasonably practicable; or
(b)might affect the composition or impede the proper analysis or examination of the sample, the provision of this section with respect to the division of samples
into parts shall be deemed to have been complied with if the person taking the sample procures three separate fair amounts of the pesticide or substance and deals with each lot as if it were a part in the manner provided by this subsection; and references in this Act to a part of a sample shall be construed accordingly.
25. Any person who knowingly makes any false statement, issues or maintains any false or misleading declaration, document, marking description of a pesticide in connection with the manufacture, importation or sale of a pesticide or any substance capable of being used in the manufacture of pesticides shall be guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding three thousand shillings or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or to both such fine and such imprisonment. - Reference of the measure
