Former
Kenyan President Moi Statement Top leaders
in Kenya have endorsed the promise of GM crops (Paarlberg, 2001). In
August 2000, President Daniel T. arap Moi, wrote in a letter to then
President Bill Clinton of the US that he saw the new developments in
biotechnology as "offering great hope and promise." He pointed
out: "While the Green Revolution was a remarkable success in Asia
it largely bypassed Africa. Today the international community is on
the verge of the biotechnology revolution which Africa cannot afford
to miss."
