As we head to #GMOJudgementApr24 we have 2 scenarios: Court of Appeal ruling that High Court Erred in declaring our matter Res-Judicata - we file a fresh matter or that the High Court was right - that we move to Supreme Court. We are ready for both #Art19UNDROP @via_campesina

Civil App No. E004 of 2025 filed by the KPL at the Court of Appeal whose judgement is on 24 April is the only case that stands btwn Kenya adopting GMOs en masse or having a participatory process involving all Kenyans. We are vigilant #GMOJudgementApr26 #KeepTheBan @via_campesina

“𝐅a𝐫m𝐞r𝐬 𝐚r𝐞 𝐛e𝐜o𝐦i𝐧g d𝐚t𝐚 𝐬o𝐮r𝐜e𝐬, n𝐨t d𝐞c𝐢s𝐢o𝐧-𝐦a𝐤e𝐫s.” – D𝐚v𝐢d O𝐭i𝐞n𝐨 At the First Pan-African Convening on the Future of Biodigital Technologies in Food and Agriculture, held in Addis Ababa from 2–4 October 2025, smallholder farmers from across the continent spoke directly about how biodigital technologies are reshaping their lives and livelihoods. Among them was David Otieno, a smallholder farmer from Kenya and a member of the Kenyan Peasants League, part of La Via Campesina, who offered a grounded and uncompromising reflection from the perspective of those most affected.
