Residents of Kenya’s Naivasha and its environs will soon be able to eat donkey meat straight from the butcheries. This is after the Nakuru county government gave an official green light for the donkey slaughter-house to begin operations. Nakuru County Executive Member for Livestock and Fisheries Dr Stanley Chepkwony has assured residents that donkey meat is safe for consumption.

Nakuru county deputy governor Joseph Ruto and Naivasha MP John Kihagi led other county leaders in calling for a rethinking of the $174,000 slaughterhouse expected to open its doors within the next two weeks.
