GM technology I think is a divine solution to save a hungry world as a result of global climate change. We should take our time and study the subject very well rather than making hasty conclusions. I will suggest that we will take our time and study the subject of gene transfer, its merits and demerits, and educate the general public which will definitely help our policy makers as well. You will agree with me that every technology has its setbacks and it's time for us to look at these holistically and recommend measures to streamline its implementation and adoption. Moreover,GM foods have been consumed in countries like Argentina etc. for over 15 years and yet we haven't heard of any "serious" treats its poses to its people. Even though we have to tread consciously in adopting technologies like this, we should also beware not to mislead the public about it just by expressing personal sentiments like "failed technology". In conclusion I would like to ask this question:should we watch our people dye today of hunger while we can provide food for them with a "failed technology" in other for them to live and dye tomorrow? thank you.

Backward people> Who is paying you and your friends? Science, science and knowledge and innovation drives this world. You are being left behind. By the way the cornflakes you and your children ate this morning came from a corn field in IOWA.Just to let you know.And also the corned beef from Brazil was made from a cow fed on soya bean planted on the pampas.

You are backward. GM Seeds are banned in Europe. Only America uses it. For your information.

Ghana needs to ban the importation, distribution, sale, production and consumption of all GMO foods. Research has shown that GMO's are the leading causes of cancer in the US. Consequently it has been banned in Europe, Asia and some south american countries. We must make it an act of treason punishable by death to deal in GMO. it is the most dangerous technology ever invented with the potential to wipe out the population of Africa because of its inherent characteristics to shorten life expectancy through cancers, infertility, disease etc. Ban GMO now.

We have very good land in Ghana, we can grow our food. Just spend little money to buy machines for farming. Now if Africa people are going to eat this GMO food we will be dead for them to take over our lands. So you tell me, we are going to sit for them to sell us this kind of garbage food, so they can make money from us, so they will always be rich and we will always be poor. We don't want GMO food period. Let us be wise.

Why are we not being told what is entering our food chain? Why is the government not informing the Ghanaian public about this new development? Are we being used as guinea pigs in the experimentation of these technologies. John Mahama is fast losing my sympathies and he has proven incompetent and hopeless in his administration of this country. I have never heard about this issue until today!

My dear Linda, I think you are getting it all wrong. There have been series of workshops on this crucial topic, and even today there is a biotech seminar at the US embassy, and others going on. So its better to follow the issues rather than waiting for politicians for answers. They will just use it to score political points. Thank you.

Keep playing with fire. They have been finding ways to wipe us out like they did to the red Indians.(They gave them free blankets which had been infected with chicken pox) Today When you think of America, you think it is white mans land because all the indian died of chicken pox.

You might say O, That was then, this is now but just last year, bill Gates gave 5billion of his money in support of the drug Depo provera, which has been banned everywhere because it makes Women Barren. They are going into Africa admistering the drug to our women for free.

We are playing with fire!!!

The United States must not bring their nonsense to our poor farmers. Our farmers don't need their bogus seeds owned only by Monsanto. Please take this out of Ghana.

To Oyinasky & Rem: I think you are genetically stupid? How much is the super-sleazy-corrupted U.S. govt and Mosanto paying you? You two are a dangerous nuisance to Africa. Does it ever occur to you two that Americans themselves DO NOT WANT genetically modiified foods on their tables?? and Europeans completely banned these products?

Yes MONSANTO of the US is pushing all this... this is all the beginning of the "MARK OF THE BEAST" prophesy being fulfilled in Revelation.

IT MUST BE REJECTED OUTRIGHT
