Lawyer Paul Mwangi has filed a petition in court against the government for lifting a ban on Genetically Modified Organisms.
The lawyer said the move by President William Ruto is unconstitutional and threatens the rights and freedom of Kenyans.
"It goes against the right to food of acceptable quality, consumer rights guaranteed by Article 43, right to fair administrative action in article 47 and freedom of conscience, religion thought belief and opinion," he said.
Mwangi further said the move to remove regulatory protocols on GMOs was unreasonable.
"The hasty removal of all regulatory protocols in the cultivation and trade in genetically modified foods in Kenya is neither rational nor reasonable."
The lawyer said the government has a duty to protect the rights of farmers to participate directly or indirectly in formulation of policies and regulation of laws that affect Kenyans.
Ruto lifted the ten-year ban on GMO that was imposed back in 2012.
He said this followed the recommendations of the Task Force formed to Review Matters Relating to Genetically Modified Foods and Food Safety.
The lifting of the ban on GMO has been sharply criticised by a section of leaders and Kenyans citing adverse health effects.
