MULTI-AGENCY TEAM MOVES TO ENFORCE CLOSURE OF KIAMAIKO SLAUGHTER HOUSES
Today, a meeting @NemaKenya involving multiple agencies has initiated enforcement of closure of Kiamako slaughterhouses. This action follows a court order issued on July 28, 2022, which mandates the cessation of operations at these facilities.
In compliance with this court order, the multiagency team agreed to withdraw all the Government services offered to Kiamaiko Slaughter Houses especially, the Veterinary Services of meat inspection, public health services, and issuance of Single business permits offered by the Nairobi City County and the services offered by the Nairobi water and sewerage company.
This will paralyze the entire slaughtering of goats at the slaughter slab due to illegality of current operations.
The decision to enforce closure stems from longstanding concerns regarding the handling of blood and offal, as well as the improper treatment of wastewater discharge, as outlined in the Water Quality Regulations of 2006.
Despite ongoing negotiations dating back to 2013, which aimed to facilitate the relocation of operations to a licensed site by March 31, 2022 in Njiru, Nairobi-they have not yet complied with this.
It is essential to clarify that the intention behind these enforcement measures is not to impede the legitimate trade of meat or the operation of butcheries. Rather, the focus is squarely on addressing the specific deficiencies observed within the slaughterhouse facilities themselves which degrade the environment.
By taking decisive action in this regard, the multi-agency team seeks to uphold environmental and health standards while ensuring the welfare of both consumers and the broader community.
