Turkana County is now home to Kenya’s third donkey abattoir following the opening of a Sh200 million facility in Lodwar.
The Zilzha Ltd Slaughterhouse at Nakwaalele will process donkey meat and hides for export to China and other countries in the Far East where they are said to be in high demand. The Turkana abattoir will compete with two others; one in Maraigushu, Nakuru County, and another in Mogotio, Baringo County. Jing Long, one of the Chinese operating the abattoir, said it was expected to provide employment to more than 200 locals when in full operation.
