Steve Mbogo has publicly criticized certain policies and actions of the Kenya Kwanza government.
In a recent interview, he warned that Kenya is losing its sovereignty due to poor government policies introduced by the current administration.
His concerns have now extended to the government’s livestock vaccination program, which he claims is more harmful than beneficial. He has urged Kenyans to resist the vaccination, arguing that it poses more risks than the government is willing to admit.
The Kenya Kwanza government has presented the vaccination program as a strategic effort to improve livestock health, ensure food security, and expand access to international markets for Kenya’s meat products.
According to the government, the initiative aims to vaccinate approximately 22 million cattle and 50 million goats and sheep against transboundary diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease (FMD).
The administration insists that this will help livestock farmers by preventing devastating outbreaks that can cripple the agricultural sector and harm exports.
However, Mbogo and other critics are raising serious concerns about the program. While the government claims it is meant to protect livestock, Mbogo questions the safety and transparency of the entire process.
He argues that the vaccination could have hidden dangers that are not being fully disclosed to the public. His remarks have triggered mixed reactions, with some Kenyans echoing his sentiments while others view his opposition as mere political rhetoric.
One of the major concerns raised by Mbogo is the origin and composition of the vaccines. He suggests that the government has not provided enough information on where the vaccines come from and whether they have been properly tested for safety.
In the past, Kenya has faced controversies involving questionable medical interventions, and Mbogo fears that the livestock vaccination program might follow the same path.
He insists that Kenyans should demand more transparency before allowing their animals to be injected with these vaccines.
Additionally, there are fears that the vaccination program could have unintended consequences for local farmers. Some skeptics believe that the program might be tied to foreign interests that do not prioritize the well-being of Kenyan livestock farmers.
There have been cases in other countries where large-scale vaccination efforts led to unexpected side effects, including livestock deaths and reduced productivity.
If such cases were to happen in Kenya, small-scale farmers would be the ones to suffer the most, further pushing them into economic struggles.Despite these concerns, the government maintains that the vaccination program is a necessary step in safeguarding the livestock sector.
Officials argue that without proper vaccination, Kenya risks losing access to lucrative international markets due to outbreaks of diseases like FMD.
Countries that import Kenyan meat have strict health regulations, and failure to control livestock diseases could lead to trade restrictions that would hurt the economy.
The debate over the livestock vaccination program highlights the growing tension between government policies and public trust. While the government assures Kenyans that the initiative is beneficial, critics like Mbogo continue to question its true impact.
It remains to be seen whether Kenyans will support or resist the vaccination program.
