The High Court has slammed the brakes on the Government's plan to gazette and import Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) foods.
In a ruling made on Monday, the court also prohibited the distribution of GMO foods to the public pending hearing and determination of the case.
The ruling was made by Lady Justice Thande.
"This Honourable Court be pleased to issue an injunctive and/or conservatory Order prohibiting the Respondents herein either by themselves, their agents or through such other personating under their instructions from gazetting or acting upon the contents of dispatch from the Cabinet authored by the Executive Office of the President of Kenya," she ruled.
