Archbishop Muheria: Apologise to Kenyans over GMO importation remarks

Moreover, Muheria has urged the state to include Kenyans in the discussions by allowing public participation and consulting agricultural experts before making the decision.

"Let us keep politics out of these discussions because the government is taking this route in an effort to offer momentary relief. But we should discuss what ails Kenyans and we need to engage and speak soberly," he said.

On Thursday last week, CS Kuria remarked that Kenyans are faced with many issues that would cause death and that GMOs would not be any different.

The statement elicited mixed reactions among Kenyans on social media.

As a result, the Trade CS tweeted saying his statement had only angered what he termed as 'pizza lovers'.

On Sunday, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga broke his silence and criticised the government calling President Ruto a puppet of certain foreign nations.

Raila challenged the government to provide the research it had relied on before authorising the importation of GM maize.

OHe also called for public participation and parliamentary intervention in the lifting of GMO foods importation.
