The State Department of Livestock Development has held a meeting with all the County Directors of Veterinary Services (CDVS), the Council of Governors (COGs), and the County Executive Committees (CECs) in charge of Livestock to plan for the national vaccination campaign of livestock against Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and Pestes des Petit Ruminantes (PPR).
The two-day meeting focused on key issues affecting the veterinary sector, with an emphasis on improving service delivery and addressing challenges faced by all the counties.
Speaking in Nairobi, Principal Secretary (PS) for Livestock Development Jonathan Mueke unveiled an ambitious plan to commercialise the livestock industry that is aimed at elevating Kenya's economy and bridging the gap between the rich and the poor.
He further emphasized the critical role of the dairy, meat, and leather industries in boosting the country's economic standing while outlining a comprehensive strategy to achieve these goals.
