Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>ODM treasurer Timothy Bosire has criticised Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi and his Trade counterpart Moses Kuria over their contradictory statements on GMO maize importation.<\/p>\n

The former Kitutu-Masaba legislator said the two have trivialised a very serious issue by issuing casual statements on a matter so grave.<\/p>\n

“Kenyans should be very afraid where Kenya is heading as a country. The issue is being handled without the seriousness it deserves,” Bosire told the Star via phone interview.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Linturi distanced himself from Kuria’s remarks that the government had approved the importation of 10 million bags of duty-free maize including GMOs to avert starvation in the country.<\/p>\n

Linturi said it wasn’t within Kuria’s purview to issue declarations concerning food security in the country.<\/p>\n

He said he is the custodian of information on how much food Kenya needs and the deficit.<\/p>\n

“I will give a more comprehensive report on the national food status at a later date when I have all the data. Relax, you will have food,” Linturi said.<\/p>\n

Bosire said the Cabinet ought to treat issues touching on human life with a high degree of seriousness as the country battles hunger.<\/p>\n

“Kuria made a scary statement regarding human life and many Cabinet members have been making careless statements on very important issues in this country,” he said.<\/p>\n

Bosire said Kenyans are in for a difficult time ahead unless the government starts treating life threatening issues with the seriousness they deserve.<\/p>\n
