These people should be stopped from misleading the public, otherwise it will be very hard getting legit information.

Raila Odinga and George Wajackoyah led in misinforming the public on genetically modified organisms (GMO’s), a new study has revealed.
The study conducted between October 2022 and January this year by the Alliance for Science, showed that Mr Odinga and Mr Wajackoyah misinformed the public by giving false claims about GMOs in a section of the Kenyan media.
“Prominent offenders were opposition leader Raila Odinga, who made many false statements alleging the negative health impacts of GMOs, and Roots Party leader George Wajackoyah, who claimed that GMOs would make men grow breasts and women grow beards,” the researchers said

We live in very dangerous times where misinformation has become the new gold.

I am always sceptical about any report by Western organisations on 'Africa'.

These racists have dominated us for so long that they think we are their property, with the intelligence of children.

The whole impact of the Matiang'i raid fiasco has not sunk in, I believe. Imagine media houses running a fake story of such magnitude without counter-checking. How now?

And then Macharia Gaitho comes up with a bullshit op-ed blaming the govt eti it over-reacted in denying, ta imajini!

Hehe...nlimshow angalieni who are the main sponsors of the media. In particular, Nation received $2,843,095 from Bill Gates, who has interests in GMOs. Can they run any story that goes against their sponsors?
@mzeiya nlikushow even this vaccine story will come out to be the greatest scandal of our time. In the mix is Gates, Big pharma, and senior people in US govt ranks.

I don't get my news from 'alternative media'. I prefer reliable and verifiable sources of information. For instance, prove that NMG got such a donation. I'm waiting.

A quick googling reveals that the foundation that shared this report is founded by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
