In a stark contrast to the hype that surrounded President William Ruto's much-publicized nationwide livestock vaccination campaign towards the end of last year, talk about the initiative seems hushed.

Questions are emerging about the government's preparedness to execute the ambitious project, which has attracted widespread criticism.

Veterinary doctors are sounding the alarm over logistical hurdles as government officials and UDA politicians remain conspicuously silent.

The campaign, a flagship initiative unveiled by President Ruto in late 2024, aims to vaccinate 21 million cattle and 50 million sheep and goats.
