GMOs - We Should Be Wary of Those Pushing This Agenda

[nosmokes]

Yes, we should be wary indeed, because it's a fact the scoundrels that are pushing the GMO agenda don't have any sort of altruistic agenda going on. They're in it for the money and the power, not necessarily in that order. Their interest in feeding the hungry goes just as deep as the hungry's bank account.

GMOs - We Should Be Wary of Those Pushing This Agenda

John Mbaria

Nairobi

AS WE ALL SIT GLUED TO THE melodramatic antics of politicians, another very determined lot has been working tirelessly to ensure that the genetically modified organisms (GMOs) they have patented get a foothold in the country.

In a subtle manner, giant biotechnology companies have been telling everyone that theirs is only a novel undertaking to ensure that hunger and famines are wiped out from the country.

And they know where to go, for they have targeted underpaid scientists and gung-ho politicians ready to do their binding without raising a question.

Even before MPs had come to back a haphazardly drafted Biosafety Bill, 2005, they were taken on a trip to Makatini, South Africa's GM-capital, in May.

And ever since they came back, they have been waxing lyrical about GM products, with Muhoroni MP Ayiecho Olweny and his Mwea counterpart Alfred Nderitu publicly vowing to ensure GM crops are not only raised but also become part of Kenya's commercial agriculture.

BUT WHY SHOULD THESE MPs be careful of publicly supporting GM crops? For one, most of us are not even aware of what genetically modified crops are' nor are scientists sure of their safety.

By definition, GM crops are those in which 'alien' material (or genes) have been introduced either for the sake of giving them in-built ability to fight off pests or to make them tastier, more productive or even able to withstand such weed-killing chemicals as Roundup.

But our MPs ought to seek to understand not only actual and possible implications of planting and eating these crops, but also the hidden agenda of the giant biotechnology companies which jealously guard patents on these crops.
