Agriculture remains central to Kenya's economic transformation, food security and the livelihoods of millions of our people. Strengthening partnerships that accelerate agricultural innovation is therefore an investment in our nation's future. Today, I signed the Revised Host Country Agreement between the Government of Kenya and the African Agricultural Technology Foundation (AATF) at the Railways Headquarters, reaffirming Kenya's commitment to supporting innovation-driven agriculture and sustainable development. The revised Agreement provides a stronger legal and institutional framework for AATF's operations in Kenya, reinforcing our country's position as a regional hub for agricultural research, technology and innovation. Through this partnership, we will accelerate the adoption of modern farming technologies, empower smallholder farmers, strengthen food systems and improve agricultural productivity. These efforts will contribute to higher farmer incomes, enhanced food security and greater resilience to climate change, while creating opportunities for sustainable economic growth.

Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.

Q: What is the cost of delay on releasing biotech solutions in Kenya #BtMaize: Delays of just five years have cost Kenya USD 67 million. If adoption had begun in 2019, the country could already have harvested 200,000 additional tons—a quarter of Kenya’s 2022 Maize imports. #AgTechAdoption #FoodSecurity #NutritionSecurity #AgTech #Biotech #AfricanAgriculture

The new study estimates Kenya’s cost of delay at US$157M—the loss from a 5-year postponement in rolling out Bt maize, Bt cotton & late blight-resistant potato. Developed by African scientists, these crops could transform food security & farmer incomes in the country. #ABBC2025.

In #Africa, development & approval of GM Crops takes 12–15 years compared to 7–8 in Argentina, 5–7 in the US, & 8–10 in Brazil, according to @ChinokoV @OfabAfrica PM adding that research delays deny farmers timely benefits. #ABBC2025 @aatfafrica @afri_isaaa @ILRI

Cofounder of @nashulai @ReiyiaOle and @aatfafrica's @vanmeeme present case studies in disinformation and misinformation at a bus stop and idea exchange during #ABBC2025. There were 5 case studies in total, including by Prof @mmunyeme, Carol Theka, and Dr @mmwimali. Each case study speaker presented a poster outlining the nature and impact of the misinformation or disinformation, the key actors involved in driving it, key interventions undertaken to counter it, and the resulting outcomes. The goal? To #talksciencefacts.
