This is a time when I miraculously want sth big to happen πͺ, when the plans are in plenty but working them out is an issue, when no one is believing in me but I've to make it happen. In 4 months time I'll be way too far, so help me God.
The Ministry of Agriculture must listen to the genuine fears expressed by organized farming groups.
Dismissing these warnings could result in a national food security crisis of monumental proportions.

Unchecked importation of poultry stock threatens to undo decades of progress in the Kenyan livestock sector.
Authorities must act decisively to block any shipments originating from infected foreign territories.
#SayNoToAvianInfluenza
Veterinary import permits are critical safeguards, not mere paperwork. The Directorate of Veterinary Services must demonstrate that every applicable disease assessment and biosecurity requirement is satisfied. #SayNoToAvianInfluenza.
An outbreak could force the culling of birds and wipe out farmers' investments. Prevention and transparent veterinary oversight are far better than recovery. #SayNoToAvianInfluenza
Farmers already struggle with high feed costs and limited breeding stock; adding avian influenza risk through poorly vetted imports would compound losses across the entire value chain. #SayNoToAvianInfluenza
Kenya must safeguard its poultry sector against preventable disease risks. Avian influenza could destroy farms, threaten investments and disrupt egg supplies. Strong border controls are essential. #SayNoToAvianInfluenza
Safeguarding our borders against dangerous animal diseases is a fundamental duty of the state veterinary department.
Farmers expect uncompromising dedication to keeping Kenya completely free of avian influenza.
#SayNoToAvianInfluenza
Efforts to obtain official responses from the Directorate of Veterinary Services regarding these import approvals were unsuccessful.
This lack of communication deepens anxiety among poultry keepers who demand clear accountability.

@mufasaa_254 The threat of bird flu is real and present in multiple countries that trade heavily with East Africa. Heightened surveillance at all ports of entry is mandatory to shield our farms. #SayNoToAvianInfluenza
@mufasaa_254 Commercial entities pushing for chick imports must be held to the highest standards of veterinary compliance. No company should be allowed to bypass vital biosecurity protocols for profit. #SayNoToAvianInfluenza
@TechTonicAi_ Sustaining Kenya's clean health record for poultry is a collective responsibility shared by farmers and regulators. We must stand firm against any policy decisions that jeopardize this proud achievement. #SayNoToAvianInfluenza
