The People’s Loyal Opposition Team led by Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has vehemently opposed the government’s plan to vaccinate over 22 million livestock across the country.
While adressing Press on Friday, 15th November at SKM Command Centre, Kalonzo, in a strongly worded statement, accused President William Ruto’s regime of advancing a “sinister foreign agenda” aimed at harming Kenyan citizens through the vaccination program of their livestock.
Kalonzo urged Kenyans to reject in totality the proposal, claiming the vaccines would alter the genetic structure of livestock, ultimately causing animals to “cease emitting methane gas into the atmosphere.” According to Kalonzo, this could lead to severe health and environmental consequences
“The program, slated to roll out nationwide in the coming months, is being marketed as part of the government’s environmental protection efforts. However, this proposal reeks of a sinister foreign agenda and is deeply concerning to pastoralist communities and the nation at large,” he warned

The vocal opposition leader who has been left out outstanding after his counterpart Raila Odinga were included in the broad based government, warned that if implemented, the vaccinations could result in genetic manipulation of animals, potentially affecting human health due to reliance on livestock as a primary food source.
“Scientific authorities have informed us that these vaccines will alter the genetic structure of our animals. Within one or two generations, or roughly 36 months of reproduction, we could see severe biological malformations in livestock due to this genetic manipulation,” Kalonzo claimed that a team comprised of scientists recommended
The former Vice President, criticized the argument that methane emissions from livestock digestion are harmful to the environment, dismissing it as unfounded. He highlighted that animal waste has been safely used in biogas production for years without significant environmental harm.
“The plan, backed by international researchers, proposes to inject gene-modifying drugs into Kenyan bovine livestock to stop them from emitting methane gas,” Kalonzo said. “These emissions are a natural biological result of digestion. Suggesting they are hazardous to the environment and is both misleading and unnecessary,”
He questioned why the proponents of the program had not implemented similar measures in their own countries, which have larger livestock populations contributing to global methane emissions.
“Why is this program being pushed on Kenya, when these researchers have not implemented it in their own countries, where livestock numbers are significantly higher?” he asked. “These vaccines, developed overseas, have been widely rejected elsewhere, including in their countries of origin, like the United States.”
Kalonzo also questioned President Ruto’s intentions in endorsing the program, accusing his administration of prioritizing foreign interests over the well-being of Kenyans.
“It is unfathomable that the Kenya Kwanza government would subject its citizens to such risky experiments. A responsible government prioritizes the health and welfare of its people. This plan is reckless and must be stopped

Wiper leader further warned that if the vaccination program is allowed to proceed, it could pave the way for the introduction of genetically modified foods and synthetic meat into Kenya.
“This vaccination is just the beginning of a larger scheme to eliminate traditional livestock farming. The ultimate goal is to replace natural meat production with industrially generated synthetic alternatives,” he said.
Kalonzo urged pastoralists and other livestock owners to resist the vaccination program and preserve their livelihoods.
“Do not allow anyone near your animals under the pretence of vaccination. There will be no forced vaccinations in Kenya,” he declared.
