Kenya is reconsidering its  2012 import ban on genetically modified maize as more
than 1 million of its citizens require urgent humanitarian food assistance due to
prolonged drought.
“In the next one or two months, we will have a decision about the future of that
ban,’’ said Professor Hamadi Mboga, principal secretary in the country’s ministry of
agriculture, which oversees agricultural research.
