Dear BABA... As A Nation Whenever We Are Missing You.. We Also Remember How Fortunate We Were That You Were In Our Lives.. We Wouldn't Trade Those Moments For The World.
The PPR is a transboundary disease. Vaccinating livestock uniformly &for all farmers at the same period of time can help reduce the problem by margins - you, already know this, but you're naive enough to not see it, blinded by your critical stance on KK Gvnt.
I can't help you.
In Kenya, recurring droughts have weakened livestock immunity, leading to a rise in FMD, LSD, and CBPP. Vaccination is the solution.

Letโs focus on facts: the nationwide livestock vaccination program is about health, safety, and progress, not myths.CS Andrew Karanja

Get Facts on why the Government is pushing for livestock vaccination program in January 2025. As elaborated by CS Andrew Karanja, the purpose is to fight Foot and Mouth Disease in Cattles and other diseases in sheep and goats. This will also help in reaching the Internal standards required for livestock in the international export markets.
The Vaccines are manufactured by Kevevapi and are all locally sourced. It has nothing related to methane or the propaganda being brewed by some self-interested pastoralist politicians for their personal interests. #VaccinationFacts
At @kalromkulima Headquarters, I underscored significant milestones propelling our agriculture sector, which contributes 21.8% to GDP and employs 40% of Kenyans, in alignment with our Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
With favorable rainfall and subsidized fertilizer distribution, crop and livestock productivity has soared, reducing import bills and enhancing farmers' incomes.
Under the Edible Oils Promotion Project, the Ministry has distributed 556 metric tons of sunflower seeds to mitigate import costs. Additional crops like canola, coconut, sesame, and oil palm are part of this initiative to achieve self-sufficiency in edible oils.
We are augmenting livestock productivity through increased forage and feed production, improved breeding programs, and expanded livestock insurance.
We are fortifying meat export markets by combating livestock diseases. We are addressing threats such as Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) through a planned mass vaccination campaign. This ensures safe meat, milk, and other products, while adhering to global food safety standards.
The absence of such interventions could lead to livestock fatalities, food shortages, loss of income for farmers, and a decline in international trade due to non-compliance with global food safety standards.

@ahmednasirlaw CS @DrAndrewkaranja amekuwa ground sana. Most of these contentious bills aren't government's but private members'.
There are notable achievements in the Ministry of Agriculture. We are no longer importing sugar. He may not be a politician but he surely works very hard.
