In other words, it is cheaper to grow maize by injecting this gene into a maize plant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the bacteria doesn\u2019t harm human beings in any way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bacteria has no ability to combine with the human gene. It is eaten by human beings, it has no capacity to mess up with human beings,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has been proven scientifically. And that is why countries like America, Australia, Canada, and others have used BT Maize for a long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The scientist, however, warned that the government, in its bid to import GMO maize to plug in supply shortages, must ensure the imports don\u2019t come in as seeds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLooking at the case in the table, we are not importing that maize to grow it&#8230;not as seed. If being imported as seed, it will definitely affect our seed bank, because it will contaminate our seed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The MP said there should be regulations on how to handle BT Maize when it comes into the country \u2013 which he said they are waiting for the ministry to draw.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt should be imported for purposes of direct consumption, which means it should be imported through the millers.When millers import, they mill, meaning it will have no opportunity to reach the fields to be planted,\u201d Kanyuithia said.<\/p>\n<p>He restated that Kephis as well as the National Biosafety Authority should be on high alert.<\/p>\n<p>The Agriculture committee chairman added that it was time Kenyan universities with capacity to separate the gene to conduct researches to help raise BT maize.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should be able to isolate if we are going beyond consumption. Kenyatta University has that capacity and so are JKUAT, Kari and Kephis,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On the protests by leaders raising safety concerns, the MP said, \u201cIf people have been consuming this thing for 30 years and they have never had a problem, I don\u2019t see why they should sensationalise the issue of BT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to be specific. I am not talking about GMOs, I am talking about BT maize. It doesn\u2019t affect human beings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the raging imports debate, the MP quipped: \u201cWhat we are importing is BT maize&#8230;which from what I know in my 18-year discourse on this subject, is not harmful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that global economies cannot be careless to introduce BT maize to their people only to kill them \u201cas they are protective of their population.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnimal feed manufacturers had consulted us on allowing importation of BT Maize for animal feed and we okayed it. That could be where the new administration picked it from,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kanyuithia added that the fear in the GM question has been that once GM seeds are allowed, monopolies may thrive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are fears a company may capture the world by producing a seed which can affect the other seeds and lock the others out, therefore, become a monopoly seed producer,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He further argued that most of the religious groups attack genetic engineering because \u201cthey say scientists are interfering with the natural form of organisms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is one of the reasons it is opposed. But from what I know about the science that is available, and this discourse I have engaged in for 18 year, BT is not dangerous to human and to the environment. In any case, it is in our soils and people eat soil at times \u2013 so they eat it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmaker said there were already systems for gatekeeping GMO inflows into the country which can be utilized for controls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have different gatekeepers. The Port Health, which we were able to analyze as a committee in the last session of Parliament, has clearly put together professionals to assess whatever comes in,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBesides, anything that can grow into Kenya, whether it is coming with some life in it, is supposed to be imported through the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (Kephis).\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
