KENYA: REJECT GMOs! Local farmers will find it difficult to export their crops to Europe if they adopt the Genetically Modified crops, according to the head of the EU delegation to Kenya, Lodewjik Briet. “We have made this crystal clear to South Africans and I am telling the same to Kenyan farmers that it will be almost impossible to export GMOs to Europe,” Mr. Briet said. The warning comes at a time when Kenya is under pressure, mainly from pro-GMO Americans, to lift a ban on the importation of GM foods. The Kibaki Government banned the importation GMOs in 2012 following concerns that they could be linked to cancer. Last week, Health Cabinet Secretary James Macharia told the Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives, that there is a lot of local and international pressure to have the ban lifted. Among the organizations campaigning for the lifting of the ban is the Melinda Gates Foundation. “There has been a lot of lobbying. We had a meeting with Melinda Gates, but we didn’t take a position; we had to wait for a report of the task force that we formed to investigate the issue,” said Dr. Macharia.
