Scientists have been challenged to take charge and conduct more civic education on Biotech and GMO technologies in order to let the public understand that they pose no risks to their lives.
During a church visit by the Kenya University Biotechnology Consortium (KUBICO), Pastor Nathan Lihanda, the Deputy General Superintendent of Friends Church Nairobi, said that initially they had been made to understand that GMO food is cancerous and causes other life threatening diseases. He added that after being educated about the modern technologies, he understood that that was not the truth.
