KAMPALA — President Yoweri Museveni’s decision to allow importation of Genetically Modified
Museveni opposed
KAMPALA — President Yoweri Museveni’s decision to allow importation of Genetically Modified foods has been contested by environmentalists and politicians. MP for Lubaga South, Ken Lukyamuzi has said that Genetically Modified foods were equally contentious because of the negative health implications. Museveni, while speaking at the recently concluded meeting for African countries on food security, said importation of GMOs should be put on hold until bio-safety regulations are put in place. But he accepted the Genetically Modified
foods (GMOs)which have sparked off global debates.
Wildlife clubs back
KAMPALA — The Wildlife Clubs of Uganda have stepped up plans to revive the clubs marred by complaints of corruption last year. Joel Musasizi said the club which is the oldest conservation NGO formed during Idi Amin’s era to promote conservation was back on track.
