Residents of Nakuru County are grappling with a sharp increase in the cost of meat, a crucial source of protein at the family dinner table.
The price of meat has shot up by 16 percent, from Sh600 to Sh700 per kilogram, according to local vendors at meat shops.
This surge in price is causing concern among families, particularly those with limited disposable incomes, as it has forced many to reduce their meat consumption or drop the delicacy altogether.
A dietician based in Nakuru City, David Maina who was interviewed by KNA today said meat is an important part of a balanced diet, providing essential nutrients such as, iron, and vitamin B12.
