Murang’a ward implements meat and milk sales ban amid anthrax outbreak

The Murang’a County government has imposed a 14-day ban on the sale of meat and milk in Kahumbu ward due to an anthrax outbreak. The decision comes in the wake of 180 residents falling ill after consuming meat from an anthrax-infected cow.

The owner of the cow claimed that it died from suffocation and that a veterinary officer certified the meat before it was sold to residents. However, Murang’a County veterinary officer William King’ori stated that investigations revealed the supposed veterinary officer was unqualified, highlighting a significant presence of individuals posing as private veterinarians and providing inadequate services to locals.

The county government has also implemented a livestock quarantine in the region to contain the spread of the disease. King’ori mentioned that the county authorities will conduct a vaccination campaign to manage the viral outbreak.

Residents have been urged to pour milk they get from their cows, adding that local butcheries will remain closed as county officers closely monitor the situation.

Governor Irungu Kang’ata said his administration has dispatched a mobile clinic in the area and that medical fees for victims will be waived. “The mobile clinic will test and treat anyone who could have come into contact with the contaminated meat,” he said while visiting the area.
