Deputy President William Ruto has announced that the Government is considering lifting a ban on Genetically Modified Organisms(GMO’s) to create an enabling environment for the growth of biotechnology innovations and industry in Kenya. In what could stoke fresh controversy on the subject, Ruto said the government has already put in place requisite safety measures following a cabinet ban on GMOs in 2012. But even as the government sought to assure over their safety, the Consumers Federation of Kenya has slammed the announcement saying the government has been compromised by global pro-GMO’s lobby groups to lift the ban.
