Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hassan has said Trade Cabinet secretary Moses Kuria should respect Kenyans and be careful with his utterances.
Hassan said the CS speaks on behalf of the government and therefore he should respect his position.
"CS Kuria speaks whatever he wants regardless of the consequences. What he says carries weight. He should respect the office he holds and he should respect Kenyans. He should be careful," he said on Citizen TV on Tuesday.
His sentiments come after the CS made remarks on GMO that caused an online storm.
Kuria had said there is nothing wrong with adding GMO foods to the menu as Kenyans live in a country where they compete with death daily.
"Being in this country you are a candidate for death and because many things are competing for death in this country, there is nothing wrong with adding GMOs to that list," Kuria said.
Kuria spoke during a press conference at which he announced that the government will soon allow a six-month duty free importation of 10 million bags of GMO and non-GMO maize for food security.
Kenyans responded with mixed reactions with some terming the remarks an admission by government that reintroduction of GMOs was a deliberate life cutting intervention.
