Opposition leader Raila Odinga has accused President William Ruto of being a puppet of and working for foreign nations and their multinationals against Kenya's interest.
This follows the decision by President Ruto's government to lift the ban on genetically modified foods and the announcement that the country will allow importation of 10 million bags of GMO maize.
