However, we know production and reproduction of seeds falls under the Ministry of Agriculture. The Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) is involved. I have information to the effect that nowadays we have genetically modified seeds rice. In view of the fact that there is certified and uncertified seeds, which seeds should the farmer plant to produce food in this country? view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly (JPA) is a very important organ for the purpose of communication internationally.
