Stop Kenyan President signing flawed Biosafety Bill

During the course of this week the Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki is set to sign the Biosafety Bill 2008 . The Bill has many flaws. The ones that are obvious are a) There is no allocation for labelling of GMO products or ingredients allowing consumers to make informed choices
b) There is no allocation for redress should GMO products cause damage to the people or the environment
c) The people of Kenya were not consulted on the Bill thus it was not an all inclusive Bill but rather one pushed forward by the Minister of Agriculture


Should such a weak bill be passed, Kenya will be subject to uncontrolled GMO contamination.
The Kenya Biodiversity Coalition a coalition consisting of'Green' organisations representing  millions of Kenyans  will from Monday Dec 22nd be staging a week long protest  resulting in what will be Kenyas biggest  petition which  will be  presented to the President on Monday 28th Dec. Farmers will be staging mass demonstrations all over the country protesting the Bill. The first ever mobile sms petition will roll out during this week allowing millions of Kenyans from all over the country to take part .   Please join us on this online petition and support the Kenyan people and environment!
