Illegal slaughter Houses banned in Kisumu

Kisumu County government has banned all unlicensed abattoirs across the devolved unit. County Public Health Director Osborne Odero said the government’s motive is to improve hygiene and ensure the food is prepared in healthy environments before being taken to the market.

"With Christmas and New Year festivities upon us, there is increased demand for meat and we have to guarantee high hygienic standards here," said Odero, sending a warning to those without licenses and sell meat is filthy environments.
