Kenya Lifts Ban on Genetically Modified Crops After a Decade Kenya

following a Cabinet meeting chaired by President William Ruto.

The ban on genetically modified imports was enforced in 2012 following a presidential decree by the late former President Mwai Kibaki. The decree followed recommendations by the then Minister for Public Health, Beth Mugo, who cited a study by a French University that linked cancer in rats to the consumption of GM foods.The U.S. government in April 2022 protested Kenya's reluctance to lift the ban with the Joe Biden administration noting that the move was restricting its exports.According to the government estimates, 3.5 million Kenyans are severely affected by the crisis with the figure projected to rise.
