President William Ruto has been at loggerheads with government critics over the proposed national livestock vaccination in what is intended to rid the country’s exports of harmful traces in dairy and meat products.

The ministry of agriculture and livestock development however has defended the initiative saying it is crucial to save the sector from global alienation. Melita Oletenges has been looking for clarity on the matter and filed this report.
