The Ministry of Agriculture has announced plans to impose movement restrictions for cattle yet to be vaccinated against foot and mouth disease.
Speaking in Wajir County on Wednesday afternoon, Agriculture Principal Secretary Jonathan Mueke revealed that the new regulation was aimed at preventing the spread of livestock disease.
The PS, who was in the company of President William Ruto during the launch of the Livestock Vaccination and Restocking Drive, disclosed that once a farmer's cattle get vaccinated, they will be given a certificate. According to Mueke, cattle owners will be required to show the vaccination certificate before they are allowed to move their animals from one place to another.
