The Kenyan government has announced plans to roll out a nationwide livestock vaccination programme against diseases in January 2025.
The livestock vaccination exercise will target 22 million cattle and 50 million goats and sheep.
President William Ruto says the vaccination programme will help prevent livestock diseases and thus secure the international market for Kenyan livestock products.
“This will ensure we access both national and international markets for our livestock products,” he said.
President Ruto made the remarks during the Maa Cultural Festival held near the Samburu National Reserve in Samburu County.
