The government has announced a nationwide crackdown on milk hawking as part of sweeping reforms.
This is aimed at improving food safety, protecting consumers and restructuring Kenya’s dairy industry around formal collection and processing systems.
Speaking during the flagging off of 25 bulk milk coolers in Nairobi, Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe warned that the sale of unregulated raw milk poses serious health risks to millions of Kenyans and continues to undermine the country’s formal dairy economy.
