Religious leaders have called for greater sensitization on genetically modified (GM) crops.
The leaders, under the umbrella body of the Association of Pentecostal and Evangelical Clergy of Kenya (APECK), have called for increased public education on the cultivation and importation of GM crops, which are touted to reduce the country’s food import bill and enhance food security.
During a meeting with the Kenya University Biotechnology Consortium (KUBICO), Rev. Fredrick Ngugi, National Chairman of APECK, noted the need for the government, in collaboration with university experts, to provide more information on the technology.
