"content": "like any other thing, GMOs have pros and cons to it. The pros include; drought resistant crops, a shorter growth period, less use of pesticide and tastier food. I have also read of potatoes that have aspects of reducing cancer and things like that – medicinal food. GMO is a product of science and we know that science is supposed to benefit and it has benefited humanity in a big way. Therefore, I expect this House to take a position on behalf of the people of Kenya. Let us not be sensational about the food situation that we are currently facing. Can you imagine people who are eating wild fruits listening to us right now talking about how we will not give them maize just because it is GMO because there are some few concerns that they could die? Let us rise up to the occasion and lift the ban on GMOs even if it is for a period of time before we can become food sufficient."
