President William Ruto inspected his Koliel Dairy Farm to demonstrate milk production methods amid a national shortage. The visit followed reports of declining processor deliveries and rising prices. Ruto highlighted modern feeding practices and milking techniques during the tour.
The government faces pressure over food security as milk shortages affect urban and rural areas. Rising costs have strained households and businesses. Ruto’s administration has promoted local production to reduce reliance on imports.
This visit marks the second time Ruto has addressed the dairy sector in months. Earlier, he announced plans to boost local milk output by investing in infrastructure. Critics argue more action is needed to stabilize supply. The government has not yet released official figures on current milk availability.
