Is Kenya Ready For GMO ?

According to a dispatch following the cabinet meeting on October 3, the Kenyan government claims that it reversed the GMO ban after taking into account things like the Kenya National Biosafety Authority's (NBA) guidelines, the need to adapt to climate change and a reduction in reliance on rain-fed agriculture.

William Ruto: Threat To Our Democratic Political Space

 "The only tool we have to fix the problems of this country - the democratic process - is itself broken. Which is why nothing will fundamentally change until we solve the problem of money in politics." ~ Arianna Huffington.

Whatever William Ruto is pursuing, is no longer funny. It is no longer against Raila Odinga, rather a threat to our Democratic space. Ruto in his wisdom or lack of the same is squeezing hard earned democratic political arena. Seemingly, he will stop at nothing!

Odinga will go, but the precedent he's set shall remain.

Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) is a state office established under Article 260 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, and the Political Parties Act, 2011. The mandate of the office, among others is to regulate the formation, registration, and funding of political parties in accordance with the Constitution and rule of law.

The Act is the primary legal reference for management of political parties in accordance with Articles 91 and 92 of the Constitution, which envisages well governed political parties that respect internal democracy and their constitutional status in the Kenyan political system.

 I would then wonder what Mrs. Anne Nderitu is doing as far as the latest development in Kenya's political scene is concerned. The moral decay is deepening and will stop at nothing!
