And so it begins…

:D:D:D:D

Nilisema the only way to keep this ungrateful foul mouth in check is to not solve his visa/passport problems permanently.

When dealing with such snakes, you should always reserve some leverage to make them behave.

He can only behave when you have a sword hanging over his head. The threat of deportation should always be imminent.

so he isnt speaking for any kenyans

Its only a matter of time before a snake like Muguna starts biting the hand that fed him. These are the early signs. It’s foolhardy not to maintain some leverage and control over such a loose cannon.

Focus on the message not the messenger. The solution to kenyas food production is not GMOs. Irrigation, post harvest storage, pest control, marketing, would solve most of our food problems.

The GMO maize grown the US is engineered to be herbicide resistant ie Round Up ready maize. This means to control weeds in maize fields you spray the field with roundup which kills all other plants except the maize. Such a system doesnt make sense in kenya because weed control has never been the problem for the small scale maize producers because they use hand weeding unlike the large US maize producers with 10,000 acres maize whose only option is applying herbicides for weed control. Also in kenya most of the maize is intercropped with beans, potatoes, sukuma, banana etc which means applying herbicides would kill all the other crops. So growing this gmo maize is basically growing expensive seed that destroys your other crops and further reduces your food security, unless you refuse to spray the maize with herbicides which negates the objective of buying the GMO maize. Also note that 99% of GMO maize grown is yellow maize meant for livestock feed. So if govt is importing it for food, how many kenyans will eat yellow maize?

Anyway the whole objective is to allow Round-up-ready GMO maize so that the chemical companies can sell you GMO seeds and roundup herbicide to use on the maize. Its nothing about food security and health, its all about profits. NB that Round up has been linked to cancer and the manufacturer forced to pay billions in compensation to victims.

Did you even understand what Miguna said?

so si

so sisi wenye tuko against GMO should be threatened with deportation?

Yep. He is opposing/contradicting the government’s official stand.

I did not say Miguna’s opinion is wrong or against the wishes of Kenyas - which is what you understood hence this question.

So this, so that. Can you fools stop putting words in my mouth. I said what I said.

Miguna is a problem for the hustler government. I didn’t say he is a problem to Kenyans. Kumbaff nyinyi.

Why do people pay attention to this toothless dog? Smh.

And how is he a problem to the government? kuna watu wengi who are not okay with some of the government actions, and you want to tell us those publicly expressing themselves ni shida. Some people have been defiance more than Miguna, seems like you have a personal hatred to the man to the point of rejecting anything he says

Many people are speaking out against the GMO thing. Mbona ya Miguna ndio inawawasha Sana?

If anything, this is a news quote. Ama imeekwa profile yake Twitter?

mattercore ya brukhengeh bure kabisa …the issue here is GMO , acha kuwa obsessed with magunia

Ruto would have schooled Miguna Miguna on GMO technology, were he not occupied with matters of greater importance.

Remember its also journalists who persistently seek out MM to comment on such matters. GMOs is a divisive and controversial topic, and most people are on the side of opposing it. For that reason, MM should be given some slack. Wait for the next subject, after all he said nothing about the controversial EALA nominations

Miguna cannot be “bought”. Speaks his mind regardless. Ati “hand that feeds him”, watu huwa funny. Why should alternative opinions be treated as if ni blasphemy in a democratic space?

The government of the day should be called out by independent minds whenever they cross a line/go against a promise they made/break the law/opt to go against the spirit of the Constitution such as failure to carry out public participation on national issues.

Your bush schooling is clearly on display. What should then be the fate of those opposed to the govt stand and benefitted from say HELB throughout their university education? Use your logic ukijibu.

Miguna owes the current administration loyalty. We don’t. Use your brain.

It’s surprising how emotions have overtaken Kenyans about “GMO” — which is a broad term that means nothing unless the seed manufacturer can specify exactly what has been changed. Come to think of it, we are genetically altered human beings with the serpentine DNA of Satan literally flowing in our veins yet God still preserves us for the duration of our lives. Shida iko wapi if we eat genetically modified foods? If the modification will increase crop yield then we might keep more people fed and happy for the time being. The collective ignorance, hysteria and conspiracy theories about GMO food is astounding and needs to stop.
