Azimio co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka Friday claimed that the government is planning to vaccinate 22 million cattle and 50 million goats and sheep with gene-modifying drugs. However, the government swiftly dismissed the claims, labelling them as conspiracy theories.

According to the Wiper Party leader, the government's intention is to make the livestock "cease emitting methane gas into the atmosphere," with the programme being marketed as part of the government's environmental protection efforts.
