Samuel Wathome

Samuel Wathome is a prominent figure in the Kenyan agricultural sector, known for his efforts to protect farmers' rights and promote sustainable farming practices. He has been actively involved in legal actions against restrictive agricultural laws, particularly those that criminalize the sharing of indigenous seeds. Wathome was recently highlighted in the news due to his role as a petitioner in a case challenging the constitutionality of such laws, which he argues threaten the livelihoods of small-scale farmers and their right to access and share traditional agricultural resources.
