The Kenya Poultry Breeders Association (KPDA) has raised alarm over a new Machakos County law imposing a Sh20 fee on every chicken moved out of the county.
The Association warns that the decision will devastate poultry farming and cripple livelihoods across the region.
"This punitive fee will devastate smallholder farmers, cripple local businesses, and destroy thousands of jobs,"
said a KPDA spokesperson. The Association has requested an urgent meeting with Governor Wavinya Ndeti to discuss the impact of the new policy.
