The government has announced a nationwide crackdown on milk hawking, warning that the sale of unregulated raw milk poses serious health risks to consumers.
Mutahi Kagwe says the move is part of wider reforms aimed at improving dairy quality and protecting farmers.
Speaking during the flagging off of 25 bulk milk coolers at Uhuru Park, Kagwe said milk hawking must stop, warning that untraceable milk exposes Kenyans to diseases and contamination.
The government says new reforms will strengthen milk traceability, support dairy cooperatives, and reduce the influence of brokers.
Over 230 milk coolers worth 1.43 billion shillings are being distributed countrywide to help farmers access organized markets.
