The Kenyan government has allocated Sh1 billion to finalize the construction of the Kakamega Teaching and Referral Hospital. President William Ruto announced the hospital will be upgraded to a national referral facility and is expected to be completed within 10 months. In Machakos County, the Kenya Poultry Breeders Association (KPDA) is protesting a new law that imposes a Sh20 fee on every chicken moved out of the county. The KPDA warns this fee will devastate the poultry industry and livelihoods. In a separate issue, tour operators are decrying a ‘hidden’ 5pc charge in new KWS park fees.
