We have impoverished Kenyans to the extent that we offer them GMO cotton seed and make sure that the people who are growing genuine cotton get noting out of it. We impoverish them and then it looks like we are doing them a favour. I do not know whether you are aware of a company called Twiga Foods. I must disclose that a gentleman I know runs this company and the wife was in my class. What is Twiga Foods doing? Twiga Foods comes to your farm and they check the PH for your soil. They check the water for the PH, acidity et cetera. They offer you seeds to grow whatever you want to grow, whether it is cabbages, vegetables et cetera, from 50 acres to 100 acres. Then after you grow and they check as you grow it, they come, pick that product, and pay you on the spot. You will be surprised the vegetable vendors that you find around Lavington et"
