Donkey owners sell their old animals for slaughter and the meat is then sold in Nairobi, Lari deputy county commissioner has said. “We are investigating these reports.
It is wrong and against the law for anyone to feed people meat of an animal they don’t know,” said Bernard Kinyua.

Kinyua told residents that the public health department is on the lookout for suspicious meat, and urged Nairobi and its environs to increase surveillance.
