GOVT BANS KENYATTA’S MILK IN THE MARKET

Things have never been the same between the retired President Uhuru Kenyatta and the Kenya Kwanza administration since leaving office. The two camps have been engaging in the push and pull wrangles eliciting mixed reactions from Kenyans on what transpired between once brothers who worked together since 2013.

According to the latest developments, the retired President suffered a huge blow after the government banned his milk in the neighboring country of Uganda from entering the Kenyan market. The move is believed to have been effected to curb his dominance of milk in the Kenyan market.

This comes months after Deputy President Hon Rigathi Gachagua said that the government will not go after anyone’s business but they will bring in more competitors to neutralize the market and break the Kenyatta dominance in the Kenyan milk market.

The Kenyatta family owns the Brookside milk company which is dominant in the Kenyan market. The company buys milk from thousands of farmers across the country and processes it for repackaging and distributes them to markets in Kenya and other countries in the East African region.

The Kenyatta family has not reacted to the move and all attention will now focus on them to see how they will respond to the latest move by the government to bar their milk from entering the country from Uganda.
