Kenyans, the new Livestock Bill (THE LIVESTOCK (BREEDING) REGULATIONS, 2023), which has been prepared by the Mithika Linturi-led ministry, is empowering the government to license you, the small-scale farmer, to keep livestock. In short, the state will grant your ability and right to keep livestock!
Folks, you need to wake up!
We can only pay licenses to keep livestock if they are tamed wildlife as per the KWS Act.
This bill is nonsensical and erodes citizens' right to have food on the table. The government is disenfranchising ASAL farmers who are primarily poor and depend on their cattle, goats and sheep to have a sensible meal. It is against the United Nations Human Rights Charter to target people and their livelihoods. It is immoral and evil!
This madness resembles the Seed and Plant Variety Act 2013 (Amendment).
What is going to happen:
1. The govt will start controlling what you can and can't keep and consumption thereof,
2. Multinational corporations are becoming breeders with rights greater than the citizens, including patenting breeds and the genetics thereof, and hence GMO breeds!
3. Your abilities as the indigenous citizens to keep livestock will be overridden by the powerful corporations, and you will have to depend on them after that!
4. Kenya Animal Genetics Resource Center (a govt owned agency) @KAGRC_KE may be privatized soon, too or will have outsiders controlling the data resources!

Large scale ownership of cattle isn’t sustainable anymore.Pastoralists need to be told the truth;the days of holding large herds for cultural reasons are gone.There is need for a new livestock value chain conversion in the country.Not humanitarian campaigns and mercy initiatives
@citizentvkenya Economically legalisation of marijuana will bring a positive impact considering the current state. As a scientist my it will help open up a larger aspect of research and more understanding of its medicinal values. Socially it will be a relief to those imprisoned for possesion
Rastafarian community files petition seeking to have marijuana legalised, claim use of bhang is for spiritual, medicinal, culinary and ceremonial purposes.

Imagine a university that has a "policy" that a certain number of students "must fail" so that they can pay to "retake exam"? Imagine lecturers receiving emails requiring them to "fail students" so the university can get money! An exposé about CUEA coming up this week!
