The opposition has rejected plans by the President Ruto led Kenya Kwanza government to vaccinate some 22 million cattle in the country.
The leaders led by the opposition Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya alliance co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka said the proposed vaccination programme has all the markings of a sinister foreign agenda.
He said the people behind this plan do not carry out the same vaccination programmes in their own nations, where they have considerably more animals than Kenya, therefore greater contributors to “harmful climate change.”
“Indeed, we take note with alarm that these vaccinations that were developed overseas, have been rejected everywhere else in the world, including their home country, the United States of America,” said the opposition leaders in a speech read on their behalf by Kalonzo.
They called on all Kenyans to remain very vigilant should not allow any agent, or official, of the Ruto regime to go anywhere near Kenyan cattle with these vaccines.
“We have been reliably informed on incontrovertible scientific authority that these vaccines will alter the genetic structure of our animals. After one or two generations of vaccines (up to 36 months), reproduction of new life will begin to be plagued by issues. These issues include, but are not limited to, the birth of animals with severe biological malformations as a result of genetic manipulation. There will also be the difficulty of the animals’ incapacity to reproduce completely. Some of these negative side effects will eventually be passed to human populations via the eating of contaminated animal farm produce,” said the leaders.
Kalonzo stated that the plan, which has the full support of international research institutions, wants to introduce gene-modifying drugs into Kenyan bovine livestock in order for them to ostensibly “cease emitting methane gas into the atmosphere.
“This is completely unacceptable and on behalf of the Kenyan people, we will not tolerate it. It is difficult to understand why the Kenya Kwanza dictatorship, alone in the world, agrees to make our country a testing ground for deadly experiments. Any government’s first responsibility is to protect its citizens’ interests and well-being. It’s unfathomable why Ruto’s regime would want to do the contrary. The admission of these vaccines into Kenya is clearly irresponsible and risky. We must all stand up and oppose it,” he said.
Speaking in a press conference at the SKM Command Centre in Nairobi, the leaders who included former Defence Cabinet Secretary who is also the Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) party leader Eugene Wamalwa, Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni, ex-Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu, Machakos Senator Grace Kavindu constitutional, Azimio legal officer Paul Mwangi among others said there will be no forced vaccination of animals in Kenya and will resist the exercise by all constitutionally protected and guaranteed means.
