The Republic of Kenya should implement adequate biosafety regulations. The Republic of Kenya should also implement biotechnology capacity building initiatives and education programs, to be coordinated with other African countries through central biosafety clearing houses. We shall clarify.
Contention 1 – competition – competes through net benefits
2) The construction of biosafety clearing houses allows for the idisseminatio nof biosafety regulations and techniques from Kenya to other countries, this is essential to ending the divid in development between richer and poorer countries
